Answer 1

Once Helen gave a violet flower to her teacher Anne Sullivan. So Anne tried to kiss her. But Helen just want that only her mother should kiss her. So Anne hugged her and wrote I LOVE YOU HELEN in her hands. At that time, Helen want to know what is LOVE. Helen answered many but none impressed her teacher. Then Helen explained that "Love is something like the cloud that were in the sky before the sun came out. You cannot touch clouds but you can feel the rain and know how glad the flowers and the thirsty earth are to have it after a hot day. You cannot touch love either feel the sweetness that it pours into everything.
