Why does Annie feel that if she teaches Helen only one word she has taught her everything?

Annie was a young Irish American woman who had been taught in a school for the seeing and hearing impaired in Boston, along with her younger brother. Alexander Graham Bell wrote to the Kellers recommending a teacher for Helen from that institution. Annie, a recent graduate, was sent to tutor Helen, who was home schooled. When Annie met her, Helen was a feral child with no discipline, no way to contact the outside world, nor to communicate with it. Annie taught Helen language by signing into her palm. After months of hard work, Helen understood the sign for Water; she rushed to the water pump and began pumping water, furiously. Annie then knew that Helen understood, and her education could begin.
