(92)Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining string and the cumbersome tail kept them in tow, facing upward and against the wind. (93)As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They soared beautifully even as they fought the restriction of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose. “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”

The image most people have of President Abraham Lincoln is of a tall, thin, bearded man. Before he was elected President, however, Lincoln did not wear a beard. He grew his beard as the result of a letter he received from an eleven-year-old girl!
In 1860, a clean-shaven Lincoln was running for the presidency. Grace Bedell of Westfield, New York, admired Lincoln very much, but she didn’t like the way he looked. Afraid that he might not win the election, Grace wrote him a letter stating that if Lincoln grew a beard, “You would look a great deal better for your face is so thin.”
