The unkindness of nature of Helen
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
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.
