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 fromt 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 bumblebee, 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 above 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.
