Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

Kezia made a pin-cushion as a birthday gift for her father out of the beautiful piece of yellow silk that her Grandmother had given her. She laboriously stitched its three sides with a double cotton and stuffed it with papers that she took from the bed-table in her mother’s room. Finally, she sewed up the fourth side and the gift was ready.

There was a commotion in the home the evening Kezia completed crafting the pin cushion for her father. Father was unable to locate the fantastic speech he had prepared for the Port Authority. Rooms were inspected, and housekeepers were interrogated. Eventually, Mother entered Kezia's room. After interrogating her, she revealed that Kezia had accidentally removed the documents and tucked them inside the pin cushion that was intended as a birthday present for her father. The missing papers were the cause of the night time out cry.
