Helen Keller wrote a story called "The Frost King" for Mr. Anagnos. It turned into a terrible incident because he accused her of plagiarizing it.

Keller's tale was very similar to a story called "The Frost Fairies" by a Miss Margaret T. Canby. Helen assured Mr. Anagnos she had never read the Canby story. However, a teacher at the school mistakenly thought Helen had confessed she had. Hearing of this, Mr. Anagnos lost all trust in Helen Keller, thinking she had deliberately plagiarized the tale to try to impress him. It came out, as best as Keller could reconstruct events, that she had probably heard the story during the summer she spent in Brewster with Sophia Hopkins, and that it had probably lodged in her subconscious. She wrote of the incident:

As I lay in my bed that night, I wept as I hope few children have wept. I felt so cold, I imagined I should die before morning, and the thought comforted me. I think if this sorrow had come to me when I was older, it would have broken my spirit beyond repairing.
