Rory's Lost His Voice
Rory never stopped talking. "Where's my football? Hello, cat.When's Granny coming to stay? Guess what I did at school..."From morning to evening he talked and he talked.
But one night Rory woke up with a sore throat.It hurt when he breathed, it hurt when he swallowed and it hurt even more when he tried to call for his mum.
In the morning, Rory stayed in bed.
"You're very quiet, Rory," said his mum. "What's wrong?"
"Oh, Mum," he tried to say. "I've got a sore throat and a sore head and I didn't sleep much."
But all that came out was a croak.
"Oh dear," said his mum. "You must have lost your voice.Stay in bed, love, and if you're not better by lunchtime, I'll call the doctor."
Rory tried to sleep, but in came his friend Mohammed.
"Hello, Rory," he said. "Your mum says you've lost your voice."
Rory nodded, sadly. "What shall I do?" he tried to say. "I'll need it for the Big Match."
"Don't worry," said Mohammed, joking. "It must be round here somewhere."
He looked under the bed and in the wardrobe, behind the television and under the computer.But there was no voice. Not anywhere.
A little while later, in came his other friend, Angus.
"Mohammed tells me you've lost your voice," said Angus. "You'll need it for the Final!"
"I know," said Rory. But nothing came out.
Angus went up, right next to him. "Say that again, Rory."
"I know..." said Rory. But still nothing came out.
"I can hear something," said Angus. "But it's far too quiet. I'll see if I can turn the sound up."
So Rory tried to talk, while Angus twiddled the knob on the end of the bed.
Then Rory tried to talk again, while Angus twiddled the light switch on the wall.
