Once upon a time, in a small sunny village, there was a quiet boy named Luis.

Luis liked to listen to the birds and watch the clouds, but he never spoke a word.

Everyone in the village spoke for Luis. 'He likes apples,' they would say.

Luis nodded and smiled, but his voice was like a whisper lost in the wind.

One day, a friendly dog came to Luis and barked. Luis wanted to say 'hello'.

Luis tried to speak, but the words were shy. He patted the dog instead.

The dog wagged its tail and stayed by Luis. 'You're a good friend,' thought Luis.

Luis played with the dog every day. Laughing silently, they had many adventures.

One morning, the dog seemed sad. Luis felt a word tug at his heart.

Luis looked into the dog's eyes and said softly, 'Don't be sad. I am here.'

The village was surprised. 'Luis can talk!' they exclaimed with joy.

Luis found his words by feeling them first. And now, he had a lot to share.
