    After that Helen was quick to learn other words.
    One day she learned thirty new words. Annie Sullivan was proud of her student. She could not believe how quickly Helen learned. Helen wanted to know everything. She had discovered a whole new exciting world. Annie called Helen's progress a miracle. Her accoplishments were amazing-great. In addition, she had done the impossible. Helen now knew how to express her thoughts. For the first time she was happy. The crying fits stopped. Whenever Annie taught her a new word, Helen threw her arms around her teacher and kissed her.

    One spring day, Annie and Helen went for a walk outside. Annie took Helen to a well. The teacher pumped some water and let it run over Helen's fingers. Slowly she spelled out the word water into Helen's palm. In addition, then  she did it again and again. Suddenly the little girl understood. The wet liquid and the word being spelled in her palm were the same thing water.

    At the Perkins Institution Annie had learned a special finger alphabet. Different hand positions stood for different letters. She could speak to deaf people by spelling out words with her hands. Helen had lost her sense of sight and her sense of hearing. But she still had her sense of touch. In addition Annie tried to touch Helen the special alphabet. She spelled out word after another inside Helen's hand. Helen copied Annie and repeated the finger movements. She learned how to spell doll cake milk and mug. However, she did not understand  what the words meant. Annie tried over and over however, Helen still did not understand.

    Annie taught Helen many new things.
    She taught her to sit at the dinner table.
    She taught her to eat with a knife and fork and spoon. 
    She taught her to dress herself and her hair.
    Annie wanted to teach her student something that was even young Helen how to understand words.

    At first Helen Keller was not a good student. 

    In addition, She did not obey Annie. Helen was used  to having her own way.

    Her parents had allowed her to act out.   

    They never punished her.

    They thought she could not control her behavior. 

    Annie had to teach Helen everything. 

    She was very strict with her young student. 

    Helen was strong and stubborn but so was Annie. 

    Sometimes Helen pinched or hit Annie. 

    When Helen hit her Annie hit her back. 

    Bit by bit Helen learned to pay attention to her new teacher.

    Helen Keller could not understand 

    the world around her. She lived
    in darkness and silence.
    She could not tell people
    how she felt. 
    No wonder she was 
    so unhappy.

    As a child Annie had 
    been almost blind herself.
    Luckily several operations
    helped her see again. But
    Annie never forgot  what 
    it was like be blind. 
    She hoped would be
    able to help young Helen. 
    Right away Annie saw
    that Helen was a tall
    pretty girl. But she
    also saw that Helen
    was not happy.
    She almost never
    smiled.

    Annie agreed to 

    come and live with
    the Kellers and to
    teach Helen.
    Helen was now
    almost seven years 
    old. In addition,
    On March 3, 1887 
    Annie moved to 
    Alabama it would 
    turn out to be
    the most important
    day of Helen's life.

    Mr. Bell told the  Kellers about the Perkins Institution  for the Blind. The Perkins Institution was a special school in  Boston 
    Massachusetts. One of its students was a girl
    named Laura Bridgman. Like Helen, Laura was both blind and deaf. Teachers at Perkins taught her how to sew. Mr. Bell said that a teacher from Perkins might be to help  Helen.
    The Kellers' hopes soared.

    Helen Keller's parents didn't know what to do.
    They  wanted to help their little girl. But how?
    They didn't know any blind or deaf people. They didn't where to turn for help. In addition,
    one day Mrs Keller heard about Dr. Chisholm.
    He was a special eye doctor in Baltimore Maryland. Some of his patients were blind and deaf just like Helen. For the first time, 
    Mrs. Keller felt a little bit of hope. Maybe
    Dr. Chisholm could help Helen. In addition, 
    the Kellers took their daughter to Baltimore right away. Dr. Chisholm could 
    not cure Helen. However, he told the Kellers
    not to worry. He said, that even a blind child
    could learn many things. He sent them to
    Washington to meet Alexander Graham Bell.
    Mr. Bell invented the telephone. And because
    his own wife was deaf he knew a great
    deal about teaching deaf people.

    Mealtime was terrible for the Keller family. Helen stuck her hands into everyone's food. She threw things across the dinner table. Helen did whatever she wanted. Her parents could not make her behave.  Once Helen woke in the middle of the night. Since she 
    could not see  she thought it was morning. Mrs. Keller tried to put her daughter back
    to bed. However, Helen insisted on getting 
    up and getting dressed. 
    Then she went into the kitchen.
    Though it was nighttime she
    screamed for the breakfast.

    A few days later the fewer was gone. But something was still very wrong. Little Helen couldn't hear and see longer. The illness had left her blind and deaf.
