Question

[121]. Read the following passage carefully:

Passage: "An old kite maker named Rahim made kites from thin paper, bamboo sticks and coloured thread. His shop was small, but during the kite festival, children from all over the town gathered there. Rahim taught a boy named Kabir that a good kite is not the brightest one. It is the one whose balance is right and whose string is neither too tight nor too loose. Kabir failed many times. His kites dived, spun and crashed. Rahim laughed gently and said that every crash teaches the maker something about wind. In the final competition, Kabir's simple blue kite flew the longest. He understood that skill grows not from expensive material, but from attention, practice and respect for the wind." What is the main idea of the passage?
