Answer:
- Kezia
Kezia was a sweet little girl full of childish innocence. Like a majority of girls, she was in awe of her father. She would feel nervous in his presence and avoided talking to him. once she tried to please him by making a birthday gift for him; but tore his speech paper to fill the pin cushion. The angry father slapped her, which further alienated her from him. She would often wonder why her father could not be as loving as Mr. McDonald.
Once her mother fell ill and was hospitalized. She was left alone at home under the care of the cook. At night she had a nightmare and woke up screaming. She found her father standing by her bedside. He picked her up and took her to her room. He tucked her up in his bed and soon fell asleep. Kezia felt secure lying near her. She realized her father was not as big as a giant. She felt the beating of her father’s loving and large heart. Finally she realized her father was also very loving.
- Her father
Kezia's father was a very busy man. He hardly spent any time with her daughter .
He used to be very tired after working so hard all day long. Although he loved Kezia but was not able to show his love and pay attention towards her. But every morning he would come to her room ah me give her a goodbye kiss. He also expected some sympathy from her daughter that Kezia was not able to give. Because of her scared behaviour he used to get irritated from her. On Sundays he used to spend his day relaxing on sofa with his face covered with handkerchief. Although he was very soft hearted from inside but appeared to be rough and hard like a giant. He was also awefully rude with kezia on most of the days.
