Answers
Mildred was Helen's younger sister. Before her birth Helen had enjoyed all the attention and love from her parents. So when Mildred came into the family she did not like that her mother gave her more attention. She was jealous of Mildred. She did not like that Mildred was sleeping in her doll's cradle. So she expressed her anger by overturning the cradle.
But with the passage of time the two sisters started liking each other and an affectionate relationship developed between them. Though Mildred did not understand Helen's sign language there was a bond of love which kept them together and they went hand in hand everywhere.Helen had a younger sister called Mildred. Before her birth, Helen was the darling daughter of her parents.
But after the arrival of Mildred, she had ceased to be so. As a result she started treating Mildred as an intruder.
The thought of Mildred receiving more love from her mother filled Helen with jealousy. Mildred took her place
in her mother’s lap and took up all the care and time of her mother which was not acceptable to Helen. Her
jealousy reached its height when Helen saw Mildred sleeping peacefully in her doll’s cradle. She became angry
and showed her anger by overturning the cradle. It was only her mother’s timely intervention that saved her
from falling. With the passage of time, this jealousy turned into an affectionate relationship. The signs of bonding
could be seen very clearly. Mildred could not understand her sign language yet understanding and love grew
between both of them. Affection grew in their hearts and they went hand in hand wherever they went.
