The most important day Helen Keller remembered in all her life was the one on which her teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to her.It was three months before she was seven years old.
On the afternoon of that day, Helen knew that something was happening.She went outside and waited at the door of the house.She could feel the sun on her face and she could touch the leaves of the plants.Then she felt someone walking towards her.She thought it was her mother and she went to her and held her close.This was the teacher who had come to teach all things to her and, above all, to love her.
The next morning, the teacher took her into her room and gave her a doll.When Helen was playing with it, Miss.Sullivan slowly spelled the word “d-o-l-l” onto her hand.Helen learnt a lot of words like this.After the teacher had been with her for several weeks, Helen understood that everything had a name.
One day Helen didn’t understand the difference between “mug” and “water”.She became angry and threw the doll on the floor.In her quiet, dark world she didn’t feel sorry for doing it.Then her teacher took her out into the warm sunshine.They walked down to the well where someone was drawing water.Her teacher put her hand under the water and spelled the word “w-a-t-e-r” at the same time in her other hand.Suddenly, Helen felt an understanding.She knew then that “w-a-t-e-r” was the wonderful cool something flowing over her hand.That living word awakened her spirit, gave it light, hope, fun and set it free!
