[00:00.00]"Is this love?"I asked ,pointing up at the sun,

[00:05.91]it seemed to me that there could be nothing

[00:07.41]more beautiful than the sun,

[00:09.44]whose warmth makes all things grow.

[00:12.67]But Miss Sullivan said no again,

[00:15.04]and I was very confused and disappointed.

[00:18.58]I thought it strange that

[00:19.63]my teacher could not show me love.

[00:23.39]A day or two later,

[00:24.65]I was making a necklace of beads

[00:26.61]and kept making mistakes.

[00:29.65]Miss Sullivan showed me again and again

[00:31.42]what to do.Finally I noticed another mistake,

[00:36.22]and stopped to think how it should be done.

[00:39.93]Miss Sullivan touched my head and

[00:41.59]spelled the work"think".

[00:44.55]In a flash I knew that the word was the name

[00:46.77]of the process that was going on in my head.

[00:50.16]This was the first time I understood something

[00:52.95]I couldn't touch.For a long time I was still,

[00:58.14]not thinking about the necklace,

[01:00.10]but trying to find a meaning for "love",

[01:02.40]in the light of this new idea.

[01:05.23]Again I asked my teacher what love was

[01:08.39]and again she explained it.
