Mr. Macdonald was the next door neighbour of Kezia’s family. Kezia saw them playing tag in the evening. He had the baby with him, mao on his shoulders and the two little girls were hanging on to his coat pockets. They ran round and round shaking with laughter. On the other hand, her father was very disciplined and strict. He never played nor interacted with her. He even beat her up for her little mistake. She was scared of her father as he looked like a giant to her. She used to feel uncomfortable by the presence of her father.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam is one of the finest scientists of our
country and was also our eleventh President.From his autobiography ’Wings of Fire’, it is simply clear
that the lessons we learn in our childhood not only shape our personality but also decide the kind of
person we become. He learnt the lessons of religious tolerance, honesty and self discipline early in
his life. These qualities stayed with him throughout his life and have helped to make him one of the
finest President in a country with so many diverse cultures.
