"Are you listening， Simon？"Simon's teacher asked．It was a pretty usual question．

Simon shook his head， smiling．He hardly listened or tried hard in class．Talking was so much fun．He wanted to be heard rather than listen．

"Listen， and you'll learn something．Mrs. Jacobs tried every day， but Simon never paid attention．

That evening，his throat really hurt．The next morning，when he opened his mouth to say "Good morning"，nothing came out but a croak．

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 checked him for a fever and decided it was good for him to go to school， even if he couldn't talk．

When he got to school， Mrs. Jacobs said "Hello" to him，and he just nodded．When his friends asked him what TV show she watched last night，he just shrugged．By the time the bell rang for class，almost everyone was looking at him as if he'd grown a third eye．

Penny raised her hand．"Mrs. Jacobs， why isn't Simon talking？"

"He never stops talking，"Richard said worriedly．

Everyone started talking at once．They were excited， worried，and surprised．

Simon sat in class， bored．He watched them talk to each other as if the teacher wasn't there，but he couldn't even do that．In math class he could hold up fingers if the answer was less than 10， but that wasn't fun．He decided to try to pay attention．

He could do his homework that night．It gave him TV and game time with his work 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 listened and raised his hand to speak．

What a difference that one day made!

Cait， 11， was trying to fall asleep when her 8﹣year old brother， Doug，came into her room．He looked around， but seemed really out of it．Then Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the light．This was really strange．Cait didn't know what to do．Just then，Cait's father appeared and explained Doug was sleepwalking．

Not all sleep is the same every night． We experience some deep， quiet sleep and some active sleep，which is when dreams happen．You might think sleepwalking would happen during active sleep， but a person isn't physically active during active sleep．It usually happens in the first few hours of sleep in the period called deep sleep．

The truth is that not all sleepwalkers walk．Some simply sit up or stand in bed or act like they're awake when， in fact， they're asleep! Most，however，do get up and walk around for a few seconds or for as long as half an hour．

Sleepwalkers' eyes are open，but they don't see the same way they do when they're awake．They tend to go back to bed on their own and won't remember it in the morning．

You also might have heard that sleepwalkers can get frightened if you wake them up．That's true，so what do you do if you see someone sleepwalking？You should call for a grown﹣up who can lead the person back to bed．And once the sleepwalker is tucked back in bed， it's time for you to get some sleep， too!

My mother is cool﹣much cooler than most people．I give her full credit for making me the person who I am today．To thank her，I'd like to share some of the things she taught me．

（1） 　　

No matter how hard things got，my mom could always joke about them．It has taught me things are never， ever， end﹣of﹣the﹣world kind of bad．I'm sure this has made me a more relaxed person．

（2） 　　

My mother made her own clothes she felt like wearing．Soon enough， people asked her to make clothes， and it turned into a full﹣time business．That shows me how you can set up your own business by expressing yourself truthfully．

（3） 　　

As a creative， my mother always encouraged us to do imaginative things for enjoyment and discouraged TV．We dressed up in costumes， drew pictures， and sang at the top of our lungs．Today， I am a very fun person to be with．

（4） 　　

My mom has always pushed me towards becoming independent． Not for her good，but for mine．I made my own decisions without her trying to manage me．Because of this，I grow up to be completely independent．

（5） 　　

Growing up， I've made my fair share of mistakes．Instead of saying "I told you so"，my mom always let me work things out myself．She was also there to help me pick up the pieces，if I ever needed help．

For all that you've done and everything that you are﹣thank you，mom!
