Martha Washington was the African-American daughter of Helen Keller's cook, and she was Helen Keller's best friend when Helen was little. Martha and Helen often played with Belle, Helen's dog, and Martha understood all of Helen's signs. Martha also gave into Helen's wishes, and the two girls played in the kitchen, kneading dough, making ice cream, and feeding the chickens and turkeys.
Martha understood what Helen wanted to do, and, for example, she comprehended that Helen wanted to look for guinea-fowl eggs when Helen put her hands on the ground. Martha also experienced the wonders of Christmas with Helen, who did not yet understand the holiday. The two girls were allowed to grind spices and lick spoons as holiday treats were prepared. Martha was Helen's constant companion in mischief; for example, Helen once cut off Martha's hair, and Martha retaliated by cutting off Helen's hair.
