The Very Quiet Cricket

One warm day，

from a tiny egg a little cricket was born.

Welcome!Chirped a big cricket rubbing his wings together.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Good morning!Whizzed a locust spinning through the air.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Hello!Whispered a praying mantis scraping its huge front legs together.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Good day!Crunched a worm munching its way out of an apple.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Hi!Bubbled a spittlebug, slurping in a sea of froth.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Good afternoon!Screeched a cicada clinging to a branch of a tree.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

How are you!Hummed a bumble-bee flying from flower to flower.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Good evening!Whirred a dragonfly gliding about the water.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

Good night!Buzzed the mosquitoes dancing among the stars.

The little cricket wanted to answer,

so he rubbed his wings together.

But nothing happened.Not a sound.

A luna moth sailed quietly through the night.

And the cricket enjoyed the stillness.

As the luna moth disappeared silently into the distance,

the cricket saw another cricket.

She, too, was a very quiet cricket.

Then he rubbed his wings together one more time.

And this time...

he chirped the most beautiful sound that she had ever heard.
