A Kite

About an hour ago a kite suddenly fell just in front of our house.
I rushed and found it was injured. Perhaps someone had hit it with a pellet fired with a catapult.
My friend lifted it. We washed the wound with detol and put it at a safe place.
After a few minutes it flapped its wings.
We realized it wanted to fly again.
My friend brought it out and released it in the air.
We were happy to see it was able to fly.
We kept watching it until it became invisible.

What would did you wash with Dettol on a person? Sorry if I am misunderstanding.

They washed a bird, a kite, with Dettol. (It's an antiseptic solution used in India.)

It was friend who saved the wounded bird. He was sitting there and first saw the bird and rushed to it. If he had not seen the bird; street dogs would have killed it.

I'm glad the kite felt well enough to fly away after you helped it. I hope it survives.

@Shivram59 You're welcome.
I would say you're both responsible for helping the kite.

I agree. The bird fell wounded and if my friend had not rushed there; street dogs would have killed it.

It was not me; but my friend who saved the poor; wounded bird. He saw it first and rushed to it. I followed him. He was its wound. I was just watching what and how he is doing.

@ekta54 Of course; he saw the wounded bird and lifted it. Otherwise dogs would have killed it.
