The Little Girl
Question
Kezia’s efforts to please her father resulted in displeasing him very much.
How did this happen?
Solution
Keiza's grandmother told her that her father's birthday would be next week. She suggested her that she should make him a pink-cushion made of silk to gift him. After stitching three sides of the cushion with double cotton with great care and effort, Kezia was stuck as to what to fill the cushion with. Since her grandmother was busy in the garden, she searched her Mother's bedroom for scraps. Finally, she discovered sheets of paper on the bed table. She gathered these, tore them up and filled the cushion with the torn pieces. Unfortunately, the sheets that she had torn were her father’s speech for the Port Authority. Her father scolded her for touching things that did not belong to her and punished her by hitting her palm with a ruler.
