Once, a father and his son went to a park to fly a kite. Their kite flew high in the sky. After a while, the son said, "Father, it seems that the string is preventing the kite from flying higher. If we cut it, the kite will be free and fly even higher."
The father then cut the string. At first, the kite went a little higher. But later, it started to come down. Finally, it fell on the ground.
The son was surprised. He asked, "Father, I thought the kite would fly higher without the string. Why did it fall?"
The father explained, "Son, the string does not prevent the kite from going higher. It actually helps the kite stay in the sky when the wind slows down. When the wind picks up, you can help the kite go higher by pulling the string. If you cut it, the kite will lose your support and fall in the end."
The son learned a lesson. Sometimes we might feel that we can progress more quickly if we are not tied to our family. But we fail to realize that our family members help us survive the hard times. They also encourage us to reach a higher level in our lives. They are not holding us back but helping us out.

In the game, players take turns to-pick out a card. The player who takes the exploding kitten card will be a loser. The game will go on until there is only one player left.
