Page 8 - THE LITTLE GIRL- MODULE

On the bed-table she discovered a great many sheets of fine paper,
gathered them up, tore them into tiny pieces, and stuffed her case, then
sewed up the fourth side.

Now Kezia is a little girl, she is very young. On the bed side table she
found some sheets of paper. So, she just gathered all the sheets, then
tore them and stuffed those pieces of paper into the cushion. And then,
she stitched the fourth side of the cushion and she had prepared a
birthday gift for her father. So many of you can relate to Kezia’s act.
Many children do such things unknowingly. They do not intend to create
any mischief or harm anyone but they end up doing it. Now Kezia has

torn some important papers.

That night there was a hue and cry in the house. Father‟s great speech
for the Port Authority had been lost.
Hue and Cry: angry protest.

There was lot of shouting in the house because Kezia’s father had
prepared a speech for the Port Authority (for a particular meeting) and
he was unable to find it. Now we all know where the speech has gone. It
has been torn into tiny pieces and Kezia has stuffed it into the cushion.

Rooms were searched; servants questioned. Finally Mother came into
Kezia‟s room.

Now the family searched everywhere. They asked the servants, but no
one knew where the sheets of paper had gone. And finally, the mother
reached Kezia’s room.

“Kezia, I suppose you didn‟t see some papers on a table in our room?”

So Kezia‟s mother asked her that did she see some papers lying on a
table in her mother‟s room.
