Answer:
The Little Girl’ by, KATHERINE MANSFIELD is a story of a little girl, Kezia who on account of little understanding about her father, usually remained scared of him. She kept a distance from him, whenever he would be at home. She considered him to be as big as a giant. She would often get nervous and stutter while talking to him.
Once she was kept indoors on account of being affected by cold. Her grandmother advised her to make a gift for her father’s birthday next week. She suggested she should make a pin-cushion for him. Kezia made a beautiful pin-cushion; but she inadvertently made a mistake. She filled it with a paper that had father’s important speech on it. She was punished for that. This incident further estranged Kezia from her father.
She would often look at the neighbours, the Macdonalds playing joyously in their lawn. Mr. Macdonald was such a good father and played so lovingly with his children. She wondered he might be a different sort of father.
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.
