[00:12.69]THE MOST IMPROTANT DAY
[00:14.20]I remember in all my life,
[00:16.31]is the one on which my techer,
[00:18.60]Anne Sullivan,came to me.
[00:20.89]it was three months before
[00:22.05]I was seven years old,
[00:24.42]On the afternoon of that day.
[00:26.25]I knew that something was happening.
[00:28.70]I went outside
[00:29.74]and waited on the steps of the house.
[00:32.07]I could feel the sun on my face.
[00:34.15]and I could touch the leaves of the plants.
[00:37.43]Then I felt someone walking towards me.
[00:40.51]I thought it was my mother
[00:41.72]and she picked me up and held me close.
[00:44.83]This was my teacher who had come to teach
[00:47.06]all things to me and ,above all,to love me.
[00:51.90]The next morning.
[00:52.92]the teacher took me into her room
[00:54.51]and gave me a doll.When I was playing with it,
[00:58.06]Miss sullivan slowly spelled the word
[01:00.67]"D-0-L-L"into my hand .
[01:05.71]I was interested and I imitated the movements
[01:08.28]with my fingers.
[01:10.38]I learnt a lot of words like this,
[01:12.68]but only after my teacher had been with me
[01:15.01]for several weeks.
[01:16.18]did I understand that everything has a name.
