The Queen Who Banned Silence

There was once a great yet peculiar queen. She looked like a queen and she behaved like a queen but there was just one unusual thing about her… she hated quietness. Most people like noise around them some of the time but this queen loved noise so much she couldn’t bear the silence. The queen was so powerful and influential that she even managed to ban silence from her whole kingdom.

Let's find and discuss

At first, the people loved it. They had parties in streets, danced their way to work and the children never had to be quiet. Can you imagine that? After a while, the people noticed they couldn’t really get to sleep. It is hard to sleep when there is endless noise streaming through your bedroom curtains. Soon, the adults kept falling asleep at work so none of the useful jobs were being done.

One day, many of the tired townsfolk began to grumble unhappily. How frustrating this noise was! Why did the queen ban the silence anyway? They started to create a cunning plan to make the queen change her mind. In no time at all, they stopped feeling so hopeless and they worked together to change their awful situation.

Around the castle, down the streets and in the parks there were enormous speakers that were constantly playing deafening music. In the classrooms, the children were told off if they stopped talking and in the streets, dogs were always barking. The queen even made the people of the land remove all the glass from the windows so unmuffled sound would travel into every room of every home. The queen thought this was just brilliant.

Feedback: Who did what well?

The people passed rumours about the most beautiful sound they had ever heard. They whispered in alleyways, used hushed voices in corridors and muttered around corners. Soon, the queen heard the stories about the most delightful sound in the whole kingdom. She demanded that the people let her hear it. They turned off all the speakers, everyone stopped talking and even the animals fell silent. With a face of confusion, the queen listened carefully and then listened some more. Slowly but surely, a faint smile crept across her face. The faint smile turned into a big, wide grin and then she chuckled (quietly, of course). She realised the sound of silence really was the most magnificent sound she had ever heard.
