The Kite Flying Adventure with the Onion-Nosed Man and the Queen

Once upon a time, there was a little boy named Jack who loved to fly kites. One sunny day, he decided to make his own kite using a stick, some string, and a big piece of paper. He drew a colorful design on the paper with his pen and added a long tail made of rags.

Excited to try it out, he ran outside to the park with his homemade kite in hand. As he was about to launch it into the sky, an old man walked by and asked if he could help.

"Sure," said Jack, "I could use an extra pair of hands." The old man helped Jack hold the kite steady while he ran with it, and soon the kite was soaring high in the sky.

"Wow," said Jack, "it's beautiful!"

The old man smiled and said, "It sure is. It reminds me of when I was a boy and I used to fly kites with my nose."

Jack laughed and said, "Your nose? How could you fly a kite with your nose?"

The old man explained that he used to have a long nose, just like an onion, and he would tie the string of the kite to his nose and fly it that way.

Jack couldn't believe it, but he enjoyed flying the kite with the old man. After a while, the old man said he had to go, but he invited Jack to his house for a cup of tea and some lemon jam.

Jack was curious and accepted the invitation. The old man lived in a big house and when they entered, Jack saw a beautiful woman sitting on a throne. The old man introduced her as the queen of the village.

Jack was amazed and couldn't wait to tell his friends about his adventure with the kite, the old man and the queen.

From that day on, Jack and the old man became friends, and they flew kites together every sunny day. And whenever they had a cup of tea, they always had a slice of bread with lemon jam, which reminded them of the fun they had together.
