She was not sure if her friends have enough time and patience to listen to her in detail. She could talk only about everyday things to her friends. She could not disclose her secrets to them. She desperately wanted a real friend whom she could tell all kinds of things. She decided to keep a diary. She named it as Kitty. She started to write all her observations and views in it. The paper would never complain and would never question her any thought. Hence She called “paper has more patience than people”.
