1614: Kites

Kites

Title text: [Dog returns with the end of a string in its mouth] [Voice drifts down from the sky] Kites are fun!

Explanation

Kites are small, light weight toys held in the air by the wind, and teathered to the flyer by a string.

Dogs are small, playful animals that bark. Dogs do not fly. Even in wind.

Megan is flying a kite. Beret Guy appears to be also. Later, it is revealed that Beret Guy is not actually flying a kite, but flying a dog. Dogs don't fly like kites, but Beret Guy is apparently doing just that.

If you didn't get it right away, and had to read this explanation, I would recommend finding a small dog and trying to fly it like a kite.

Transcript

Megan: I love kites.

Beret Guy: Hey, Me too!

Beret Guy: I'll go get mine, once I finish walking my dog!

Beret Guy: C'mon boy! {and starts tugging on the string going into the sky}

Dog: Arf, Arf, Arf! {comes down from the sky}

{Megan looks curiously as Beret Guy walks away with Dog and string}
