During the day of June 23, 1953, Helen Keller was walking down the side street, or so she thought. Before she knew it, her dog got loose of her leash and was no where to be found. There was nothing she could do. Helen proceeded towards a building close by to use as her guidance. She followed the wall of the building unroll she reached a door. There she entered not knowing where she was or what she was about to encounter. Shorty after entering the building she found what she thought was the light switch. She proceeds to flip on the lights not knowing that she was powering on the towns power plant. As she turned it on, jolts of electricity went through her body sending her back in time to the Boston tea party. The next thing she knew, she was sitting at a table and in front of her was a cup of tea. Worried and not sure of whats going on, she sips the tea and incelredibly her hearing and sight were back! Helen shortly hears about plans to raid the ships and dump all of the tea over board because of the new taxes put on tea. She doesn't think much of it and continues on with her day. As the week goes on, she hears more and more talk of these plans of rebellion. Helen decides to think up her own plan to stop this. Though her plan is perfect, she will need a little help. All that was in need for Helen was a group of people to help her. The next day was the day that it was planned to rush the ships and dump the tea. Helen and her group of helpers follow the people planning on attacking the ships. Just before the crowds of people go to charge the ships, Keller and all her helpers cut the ropes holding the ships on the docks and they all slowly float just far enough from the docks that no one can board. As the crowds of angry people surround her and all the people on the boat make there way back she explains her actions to all. Helen tells the ships men that if she wouldn't have cut the rope then all these people would have came onto the boat and tossed all the tea over board because they were unhappy with the tax on tea. She then explains to the people that if they do so, they will not have tea until the next shipment arrives if that ever comes. Helen settles this between the two sides, making an agreement that they cut the tax rise in half, and both sides come to a better agreement. The people help pull the boats in, help unload the tea, and life goes on, with out the Boston Tea Party.
