[00:00.00]"Is this love?"I asked ,pointing up at the sun,
[00:05.91]it seemed to me that there could be nothing
[00:07.41]more beautiful than the sun,
[00:09.44]whose warmth makes all things grow.
[00:12.67]But Miss Sullivan said no again,
[00:15.04]and I was very confused and disappointed.
[00:18.58]I thought it strange that
[00:19.63]my teacher could not show me love.
[00:23.39]A day or two later,
[00:24.65]I was making a necklace of beads
[00:26.61]and kept making mistakes.
[00:29.65]Miss Sullivan showed me again and again
[00:31.42]what to do.Finally I noticed another mistake,
[00:36.22]and stopped to think how it should be done.
[00:39.93]Miss Sullivan touched my head and
[00:41.59]spelled the work"think".
[00:44.55]In a flash I knew that the word was the name
[00:46.77]of the process that was going on in my head.
[00:50.16]This was the first time I understood something
[00:52.95]I couldn't touch.For a long time I was still,
[00:58.14]not thinking about the necklace,
[01:00.10]but trying to find a meaning for "love",
[01:02.40]in the light of this new idea.
[01:05.23]Again I asked my teacher what love was
[01:08.39]and again she explained it.
