Before the advent of
Miss Sullivan into Helen's life, the latter was obdurately naughty. Nobody
could stop her from the naughtiness she set her mind upon. Once, Helen and
Martha were seated on the veranda steps one hot July afternoon. They were
playing cutting paper dolls. Soon they got tired, and started cutting
everything they found around them; Helen's attention caught Martha's corkscrew
hair, Helen took her hair in her hands, and in spite of objections from Martha,
she cut her hair. Helen's hair was going to be cut by Martha, but soon her
mother saved her. Helen as a child was
very mischievous and often indulged in playing pranks and acts of carelessness. Once she
spilled water on her apron, and she spread it out to dry before the fire. She
wanted it to dry fast; so she drew nearer and threw it over the hot ashes. The
flames encircled her, her clothes caught fire. Her screams were heard by her
nurse, Viny, who saved her. In an another incident, locked her mother in the pantry.
She had to remain locked their for hours before the servants unlocked the door.
There are many other similar pranks that Helen played.
