Helen visited the world Fair at Chicago in 1893 with Dr. Alexander Graham Bell. She recalls those days with unmixed delight, when a thousand of her childish fantasies became wonderful realities. Helen made a trip around the world in her imagination each day at the fair. The President of the World Fair allowed her to touch everything and Dr. Graham Bell described everything to her. Helen saw many wonders like marvels of inventions, treasures of industry and skill and examined telephones, Egyptian mummies, phonographs, marble statues, etc. This experience at the World Fair enabled Helen to learn many new words and enhanced her vocabulary. She made a giant leap from the fairy tale world of childhood to the real world of adults.

Helen Keller was a great lover of nature. She was completely in awe and amazed at all the wonderful things that Mother Nature had in store for everyone. Animals and birds were always a source of interest for her. Miss Sullivan made Helen feel the beauty and kindness of nature. She also made Helen aware of nature's cruelty. When Helen was sitting on the branches of a tree enjoying nature's beauty, a thunderstorm struck and the pleasing atmosphere turned into a fierce one. She was horrified as there was no one to help her. At that time she realized that nature has its deceitful claws hidden the cover of the softness. Later Helen again developed an attraction towards nature. She was able to feel the sweet allurement of the mimosa tree in its full boom that enabled her to overcome her fears. Miss Sullivan took Helen by the hand across the fields, to the banks of the river and made her feel that "birds and flowers and she were happy peers."
