Helen
Keller
, the
famous
deaf
dumb
and
blind
girl
who
learned
to
overcome
all
odds
and
become
the pinball
wizard
was not
always
impaired
. As a
baby
she was
abandoned
in the
woods
to be
raised
by
wolves
. The
wolves
fell
into
drugs
and
left
her in the
swamp
to be
raised
by
worms
. The
worms
took
her in with
open
arms
.
Helen
gradually
began
to
believe
she was a
worm
like
her
foster
parents
. When
finally
captured
by
Jane
Goodall
in
1842
Helen
fully
believed
she was a
worm
and could not
see
or
hear
. She could
talk
, but the
language
of the
worms
to
human
ears
is
little
more than
grunts
and
squeaks
.
Even
to this
day
she is
known
to
dive
head
first
into the
ground
and
completely
dissapear
only to
resurface
hours
later
full
of
dirt
.
