a.She discovers what words are

When Helen’s doll got broken, her teacher took her out for a walk to the well-house. Her teacher drew water and placed one of Helen’s hands under the spout. As the water gushed over one hand, her teacher spelled “water” with the other hand, slowly at first then, rapidly. It was then that she found out that “w-a-t-e-r meant the cool thing that flowed over her hand. When she left the well-house she was very eager to learn and she did learn new words at that time.
