Before her seventh birthday, the family hired a private tutor - Anne Sullivan.
Anne was careful to teach Helen especially those subjects in which she was interested. As a result Helen became gentler and she soon learnt to read and write in Braille.

塞翁失马
战国时期，靠近北部边城，住着一个老人，名叫塞翁。塞翁养了许多马，一天，他的马群中忽然有一匹走失了。邻居们听说这件事，跑来安慰，劝他不必太着急，年龄大了，多注意身体。塞翁见有人劝慰，笑了笑说：“丢了一匹马损失不大，没准会带来什么福气呢。”
邻居听了塞翁的话，心里觉得很好笑。马丢了，明明是件坏事，他却认为也许是好事，显然是自我安慰而已。过了几天，丢失的马不仅自动返回家，还带回一匹匈奴的骏马。
邻居听说了，对塞翁的预见非常佩服，向塞翁道贺说：“还是您有远见，马不仅没有丢，还带回一匹好马，真是福气呀。”
塞翁听了邻人的祝贺，反而一点高兴的样子都没有，忧虑地说：“白白得了一匹好马，不一定是什么福气，也许惹出什么麻烦来。”
邻居们以为他故作姿态纯属老年人的狡猾。心里明明高兴，有意不说出来。
塞翁有个独生子，非常喜欢骑马。他发现带回来的那匹马顾盼生姿，身长蹄大，嘶鸣嘹亮，膘悍神骏，一看就知道是匹好马。他每天都骑马出游，心中洋洋得意。
一天，他高兴得有些过火，打马飞奔，一个趔趄，从马背上跌下来，摔断了腿。邻居听说，纷纷来慰问。
塞翁说：“没什么，腿摔断了却保住性命，或许是福气呢。”邻居们觉得他又在胡言乱语。他们想不出，摔断腿会带来什么福气。
不久，匈奴兵大举入侵，青年人被应征入伍，塞翁的儿子因为摔断了腿，不能去当兵。入伍的青年都战死了，唯有塞翁的儿子保全了性命。
Near China's northern borders lived a man well versed in the practices of Taoism. His horse, for no reason at all, got into the territory of the northern tribes. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
After a few months, his animal came back, leading a fine horse from the north. Everyone congratulated him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a cause of misfortune," said his father.
Since he was well-off and kept good horses his son became fond of riding and eventually broke his thigh bone falling from a horse. Everyone commiserated with him.
"Perhaps this will soon turn out to be a blessing," said his father.
One year later, the northern tribes started a big invasion of the border regions. All able-bodied young men took up arms and fought against the invaders, and as a result, around the border nine out of ten men died. This man's son did not join in the fighting because he was crippled and so both the boy and his father survived.
Ⅷ 求一篇美国历史小故事 英文版
1860年共和党人林肯当选为总统，美国民主党遭到惨败，这就成为南方奴隶主脱离联邦和发动叛乱的信号。南部蓄奴州南卡罗来纳州首先脱离联邦，接着佐治亚州、亚拉巴马、佛罗里达、密西西比、路易斯安那和得克萨斯诸州相继脱离， 并于1861年2月宣布成立“南部同盟”，另立以杰斐逊·戴维斯为总统的政府。1861年4月12日叛乱政府军开始炮轰在南卡罗来纳的联邦萨姆特要塞，14日被攻陷。林肯政府于4月15日发布讨伐令，内战爆发 。不久，弗吉尼亚、北卡罗来纳、田纳西、阿肯色4州退出联邦参加南部联盟。
战争初期北方实力大大超过南方，北方有2234万人口，南方只有910万，而且其中有380多万是黑奴。北方有发达的工业，四通八达的铁路网和丰富的粮食，而南方几乎没有工业，铁路也很少。但南方有充分的军事准备，拥有装备及训练都较精良的军队。而且，内战前夕J.布坎南总统曾设法把大量武器和金钱输送到南方去。林肯政府在内战初期进行战争的目的是恢复南北的统一，担心触动奴隶制度会把一些边境奴隶州推向南方叛乱者一方，从而失掉边境诸州这个重要的战略地区。由于北方政府不肯宣布解放奴隶。因此，在内战第一阶段，北方在军事上连遭失败。在1861年7月马纳萨斯和1862年夏的半岛战役中，北军损失惨重。北军虽然在西线取得一系列辉煌战果，从南军手中夺取了几个重要战略据点，但是这些战果都被东线的惨败所抵消。
在北方军事上屡次失败的情况下，共和党内部的激进派及社会上的废权主义者提出解放奴隶和武装黑人的主张。林肯也意识到解放奴隶的必要性。
