Simon smiled and shook his head. He hardly listened or tried hard in class. “I was talking to Susan,” he said lazily. “One of these days, if you listen, you’ll learn something.”Mrs. Jacobs said. She tried to make him listen to her every day, but he never stopped talking.

That evening, Simon started to feel a little bit sick. By his bedtime snack, his throat really hurt. He had ice cream and hot chocolate to make his throat feel better. The next morning, when he opened his mouth to say “Good morning”, nothing came out. Simon’s mother looked at him, “Honey, you’ve lost your voice.”

“Can I stay home?” He tried to ask, but words didn’t come out.

Instead, his mother said he was good enough to go to school, even if he couldn’t talk.When he got to school, he kept quiet all day long.

Simon sat in class, bored because he couldn’t talk. He watched them talk to each other. He decided to try to listen to his teacher.

You know what? It wasn’t that bad. He could do his homework that night. It gave him extra TV time and game time because his work was all done. The next day, even though his voice was coming back, he stayed quiet again. The third day, he could talk fine, but he didn’t. He listened and raised his hand to speak.

What a difference that day made!
