Question

Helen had a great love to wards animal and Birds .Elucidate with Example??

Answer 1

Helen was a great lover of nature. She was surprised at what mother earth had in store for everyone. Birds

and animals were always a source of interest for her. She used to hunt for guinea-fowl’s eggs in the long grass

when she was a child but never allowed her friend Martha to carry the eggs home, for the fear that she might

break them. In another incident, she was gifted little Tim, a canary as a Christmas gift by the Tuscumbia School

children. Miss Sullivan taught her how to take care of her new pet. She prepared his bath, made his cage clean

and sweet, filled his cups with fresh seed and water from the well house and hung a spray of chickweed in his

swing. She used to feed him candied cherries out of her hand but felt very sad when the bird fell prey to a cat

after its cage was left on a window sill. During her stay at Brewstar, Miss Sullivan attracted her attention towards

a great horseshoe crab. She felt it and thought it strange that he carried his house on his back. Suddenly, she

wanted to have him as her pet. She seized him by the tail with both hands and carried him home. His body was

very heavy but somehow she dragged him and with the help of Miss Sullivan, put him in a trough near the well

to keep him secure. But the next morning she found him to be missing. At first she felt disappointed but later felt

happy that perhaps he had returned to the sea where he belonged.

Answer 2

Many times, Helen would sit on a fallen tree so long that many shy animals of the forest would step across her feet not realizing that she was there. She would sit still as could be and listen for the sounds that she understood—she would imagine the sounds of leaves, grass, and twigs creaking faintly when birds alight on them. She also could imagine the grass swaying as a small insect brushed its wings against it.
The smells and vibrations of the forest were of great relaxation to Helen Keller and she thoroughly enjoyed every minute she was able to spend with nature.
