Read the following excerpt from The Story of My Life by Helen Keller. 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
returning thought; and somehow the mystery of language
was revealed to me. I knew then that "w-a-t-e-r" meant the
wonderful cool something that was flowing over my hand.
That living word awakened my soul, gave it light, hope, joy,
set it free!
