Kite that exploits the child
In the good old days, children learnt kite making from their elder ones, flew them high sky and enjoyed proudly of the small home-made. No local entrepreneur might have thought that kite-making would be a thriving business in Sri Lanka until their Chinese counterparts exploited the market. Here two pals on an excursion in the City, bargain on a Chinese made kite at the Galle Face green. The kites are sold at exorbitant prices ranging from Rs.50 to 180 at difference places in the city.
