The fearful incident
that Helen experienced taught her a valuable lesson. She learnt that nature is
not always kind. One day she and her teacher were returning from a ramble. On
the way back home was a wild cherry tree just a short distance from their
house. The shade of the tree was very cool; Helen was tempted to climb it with
the assistance of her teacher. She sat in the branches. Miss Sullivan proposed
to have their luncheon up in the tree and went to the house to fetch it.
Suddenly a change passed over the tree in her absence. The sky was overcast
threateningly. Helen knew a thunderstorm was about to come. A nameless fear
clutched her heart. She felt absolutely alone and scared. Helen began missing
her teacher. Soon the tree began to sway shake. Twigs began to snap and fall;
Helen wanted to jump down the tree in fear; as she was expecting the worst to
happen, her teacher seized her hand and helped her down. Helen clung to her
teacher, trembling with joy to feel the earth under her feet. Miss Sullivan
held Helen reassuringly in her arms and pacified all her fears.
