A Simple Man

A Simple Man Mahatma Gandhi was a simple man who did great things. He led his country to independence. And the way he did it was amzazing. He did not believe in violence. He did not believe in fighting or in wars. He believed in talking things out. The Indian people agreed with his, In 1947, India became a free country. Gandhi lived a poor life by choice. He was a well-educated lawyer. He earned a good salary. But he saw the poor people around him and decided to help them. He learned how to live in the simplest way possible and still be healthy. He ate mostly fruit, goat's milk and olive oil. He wore only a simple rag as clothing. But people followed him. They could see that he was honest.

Gandhi spoke his native language. He also learned English. But he spoke English with an Irish accent. Why? His frist English teacher was Irish!
