Answer:

LESSON at a Glance

It is a story of an old man-Mahmood who was a kite maker. There was a time when grown ups flew kites from the maidans. There was a good deal of betting in it and money frequently changed hands. Kite-flying was then the sport of kings. Mahmood, the kite maker had been well known throughout the city in the prime of his life. At the request of the Nawab, he had once made a very special kind of kite. It consisted of a series of small, very light paper discs, trailing on a thin bamboo frame. The discs decreasing in size from head to tail gave the kite the appearance of a crawling serpent.
