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

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! There
were barriers still, it is true, but barriers that could in time be swept away.
