Read the excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller
We walked down the path to the well-house, attracted by the fragrance of the honeysuckle with which it was covered Some
one was drawing water and my teacher placed my hand under the spout As the cool stream gushed over one hand she
spelled into the other the word water first slowly, then rapidly. I stood still, my whole attention fixed upon the motions of her
fingers Suddenly I felt a misty consciousness as of something forgotten-a thrill of retuming thought and somehow the
mystery of language was revealed to me. I knew then that water" meant the wonderful cool something that was flowing
over my hand. That living word awakened my soul, gave it light hope joy set it freel There were barriers still it is true, but
bamers that could in time be swept away
