Explanation of the Story
The essay starts with Helen Keller 
explaining how she finds joy in touching 
things, even though she is blind. She feels 
the shape of a leaf, the smooth bark of a 
tree, or the rough surface of a pine. In 
spring, she touches tree branches to find 
buds, which show nature waking up after 
winter. Sometimes, she feels a bird 
shaking with song on a branch, which 
makes her happy. However, she wishes 
she could see these things, as sight would 
show her even more beauty. She imagines 
having three days of sight and divides 
them into three parts.
