THE LITTLE GIRL

This story brings in the lot of wonderful memories all of us have of our childhood. The father figure, the man of the house whom we used to consider so rough and tough gradually turned out to be the most softest person who became our hero.

•       THE LITTLE GIRL KEZIA IN THE STORY FEARED HER FATHER JUST LIKE WE USED TO BE SCARED OF  OUR FATHER WHEN WE WERE YOUNG AND SMALL. HER HEART USED TO FEEL LIGHTER WHENEVER HER FATHER USED TO BE AWAY FOR WORK. SHE USED TO STUTTER ONLY IN FRONT OF HER FATHER BECAUSE OF HER FEAR OVER HIM. ON ONE FINE COLD DAY HER GRANDMOTHER INFORMED HER THAT IT IS HER FATHER'S BIRTHDAY NEXT WEEK. THE LITTLE GIRL DECIDED TO SURPRISE HER FATHER BY STITCHING A LOVELY CUSHION, SO IN-ORDER TO FILL THE CUSHION SHE STARTED SEARCHING FOR SCRAPS AND THEN SHE FOUND FEW SHEETS OF PAPER IN HER PARENT'S BEDROOM WHICH SHE TORE AND FILLED THE CUSHION. BUT THOSE SHEETS OF PAPERS WERE IMPORTANT PAPERS OF HER FATHER AND WHEN HER FATHER GOT TO KNOW THIS HE GOT REALLY ANGRY ON HER AND BET HER WITH SCALE. THIS INCREASED HER FEAR FOR HER FATHER. THEN ONE DAY, THE LITTLE GIRL'S MOTHER FELL ILL AND HER GRANDMOTHER TOOK HER MOTHER TO THE HOSPITAL LEAVING THE LITTLE GIRL WITH THE COOK ALICE.  KEZIA WAS SCARED OF DARK AND HER NIGHTMARES, BUT THE COOK ASKED HER NOT TO SHOUT AND WAKE HER FATHER. BUT, THAT NIGHT THE NIGHTMARE HAUNTED THE LITTLE GIRL AGAIN AND SHE STARTED SCREAMING AND WOKE UP TO FIND HER FATHER NEXT TO HER, WHO TOOK HER TO HIS ROOM AND MADE HER SLEEP COMFORTABLY AND THE LITTLE GIRL FINALLY UNDERSTOOD THE BIG SOFT HEART HER FATHER HAS. THEN THE LITTLE GIRL UNDERSTOOD HER FATHER AND REALIZED THAT HER FATHER HAS NEVER BEEN HARSH TO HER FOR HER NO FAULT. SHE GOT TO KNOW THE FATHER AND DAUGHTER BOND.
