The Day of Silence
Sam was a smart young man. He was born deaf and could not hear a thing. He was well
known to everyone in town, and they were all very fond of him. Unfortunately, though, he
always ended up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried that they
would hurt him, that maybe he wouldn't hear the ball being hit in his direction. So, they
would stop playing cricket when he walked by. Adults acted like he was incapable of
understanding them, as though he was some kind of baby. Sometimes shopkeepers did not
even talk to him even though Sam could read lips and understand what people were saying.
Sam didn't like this very much but he did not know what
he could do about it. Another person who disliked this
was his friend Harry, who decided one day that things
had to change. Harry believed that his friend's inability
to hear did not mean that he was not like everybody
else at heart. He felt it was unfair that Sam did not even
get the chance to show who he really was. So, Harry
convinced everyone in the community that this year, in
honour of Sam, they should dedicate one day to deaf
people. During that day everyone in town would have to
wear earplugs to know how Sam felt and lived daily,
People liked the idea, because everyone loved Sam. The day became known as The Day of
Silence', and when it arrived, everyone stuck plugs in their ears. Nobody could hear
anything! That morning was filled with jokes and laughter as people only spoke through
actions. But, as the hours passed, people became more aware of how difficult life was when
you couldn't hear. They slowly began to get annoyed with each other. They understood how
difficult it was for Sam to express his ideas and thoughts to impatient people.
Sam was calm and relaxed as everyone else was giving each other time to understand what
they were trying to say. People saw a whole new side of him. On that day, using his usual
gestures, Sam was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that
people paid more attention to what he was saying, and they were surprised by his
intelligence, his creativity, and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They
realised that he had always been like that, and that in normal life all Sam needed was a little
more time than others to communicate. That was the only difference. So, The Day of
Silence' was the day Sam's true nature became known. It was also the day everyone
realised that you have to give people a chance to show how valuable they are. People in the
community wanted to make sure that others would learn this lesson. So, from that day on
every year, they celebrated The Day of Silence'.
