One day, when some people were visiting, John felt so ashamed that he in a bedroom. Suddenly, a little elf (小精灵) came to him. The elf shouted , “Please! Stop screaming (尖叫) like that.”
The boy was . He forgot his shyness and asked, “Who screamed?”
“Is there anyone else here?”
The boy looked around. They were .
“ I never say anything,” he replied, trying to himself. “How can I shout without opening my mouth?”
Then the elf’s changed from anger to surprise. “Don’t you know? Nobody told you that your eyes, your hands and your whole body all the time?”
The elf began to that each part of the body speaks its own and does so without stopping and how each we make says something. The elf gave John a little bottle and dropped some magic water into his and told him, “Now, you’ll hear with your ears what people are saying without opening their mouth.”

John wet the girl’s ears with some magic drops from his bottle. Together, they set out to which gestures to make to ensure their bodies were quieter and more pleasant. And they that smiling, looking into people’s eyes and saying “Hello” meant their bodies stopped yelling, and so they became children.
