at least the popular idea is that Miss Keller- following her blindness and deafness was first moved to sound out the word- Water- after an incident at an outdoor Pump house by her teacher, Annie Sullivan. It should be carefully noted that Miss Keller was not congenitally blind, but became handicapped as a side-effect of Scarlet Fever, at least that is the gist of articles digested in Grammar School.
