Excerpt from a beautiful passage by Helen Keller.

Sometimes, just before dawn, I get up and sneak into the garden, and the morning mist covers the flowers and plants. Who can appreciate the infinite pleasure of holding roses gently in the palm of your hand; Who can know the beautiful posture of lilies swaying in the slow morning breeze? When I pick flowers, sometimes I catch bugs in them at once. I can feel their tiny vibration sound under the external pressure and fly with their wings raised.

We also like to go to the orchard, where the fruit ripens in early July. A big hairy peach hangs in my hand. A breeze blew through the Woods and the ripe apples rolled to the ground. I picked up the apple that fell at my feet, wrapped it in an apron, put my face on the apple and smelled the afterheat of the sun above. That feeling is wonderful! I often jump home happily.

2. She realized that a child's mind is like a stream flowing along the riverbed for thousands of times, with flowers, shrubs and light clouds. She tried her best to show me the way, because she understood that a child's heart, like a stream, needs the supplement of mountain springs and flows into the Yangtze River. The undulating peaks are reflected on the mirror-calm river, reflecting bright and dazzling tree shadows and blue sky, and reflecting the beautiful faces of flowers.

Every teacher can lead children into the classroom, but not every teacher can let children learn something real. My teacher and I love each other and are inseparable. I can never tell how much of my love for all the beautiful things is inherent in my heart and how much is given to me by her. She has become a part of my life, and I have followed in her footsteps. All the good things in my life belong to her, and my talent, ambition and happiness are moved by her love. -Happiness and surprise

Suddenly, the wind and cloud changed suddenly, the warmth of the sun disappeared completely, the sky was overcast and the soil smelled strange. I know this is a common omen before the storm comes. I feel an indescribable fear, a sense of loneliness isolated from my relatives and the earth. I sat motionless, clutching the trunk and shivering, praying for Miss Sullivan to come back soon.

After a silence, the leaves rustled uniformly, and the strong wind seemed to uproot the trees. I clung to the branch for fear of being blown away by the wind. The tree shook more and more, and fallen leaves and broken twigs rained on me. Although I was anxious to jump down from the tree, I dared not move. I felt the earth shaking, like something heavy fell to the ground, and the vibration was transmitted from the bottom to the branch where I was sitting. When Miss Sullivan arrived, I was scared to shout. She grabbed my hand and helped me down. I hugged her tightly, and I was ecstatic to touch the solid earth again. I have gained a new knowledge-nature sometimes goes to war with her children, and hides claws under her gentle and beautiful appearance! -"Close to Nature"

The textbooks I have studied are rarely in Braille, so I have to ask others to spell out what I have in my hand, so I have much more time to preview my lessons than other students. Sometimes, it takes a lot of effort to do a small thing, and you can't help being impatient. When other students are laughing, singing and dancing outside, I can't stand the thought that it will take me several hours to finish reading a few chapters. But it didn't take me long to cheer up and laugh at these grievances.

Because if a person wants to gain real talent and learning, he must climb the strange mountains and dangerous peaks by himself. Since there is no shortcut on the road of life, you have to take your own tortuous road. I slipped several times, fell down, couldn't get up, lost my temper when I met unexpected obstacles, then restrained my temper, and then dragged myself up again. Every time I make a little progress, I will be encouraged. My heart is more and more eager to climb bravely and gradually see a wider world. Every struggle is a victory. If I work harder, I can reach the depths of bright clouds and blue sky-the peak of my hope. -"Admission"

Although there are many defects in my life, I can touch this colorful world in so many ways. The world is beautiful, even in darkness and silence. No matter what kind of environment you are in, you should keep working hard and learn to be content.

Sometimes, when I sit alone waiting for the door of life to close, a feeling of isolation hangs over me like a cold fog. There is light, music and friendship in the distance, but I can't get in, and the god of fate ruthlessly blocks the door. I really want to protest seriously, because my heart is still full of enthusiasm. But those sour and useless words overflowed my lips, and I stopped talking, just as tears flowed into my stomach and silence soaked my soul. Then, the god of hope came up to me with a smile and whispered, "forgetting me is happiness." So I will regard the light seen in others' eyes as my sun, the music heard in others' ears as my music, and the smile on others' lips as my happiness. -"Enjoy Life"
