Moments

Princess Magpie has been reading Helen Keller. We came across the scene where Helen has finally realized what words are and she's running around getting Miss Sullivan to translate what the words for all the things around her are. She's running from place to place touching everything she can find getting Miss Sullivan to tell her the words.

It reminded me of Little Prince actually. When he learn to read, he suddenly wanted to read everything. He read signs he read the words on the television he read packaging, words on store windows, every word that came across he wanted to read it. He wanted to know what it was. There was a sense of wonder and discovery that was amazing.

It's just funny how this wondrous moment in the book about Helen Keller remind me of a wondrous moment in Little Prince's life. I'm pretty lucky to get to witness that.
