Today, phones stopped working at school. No one could call or text. Sarah said, "I can't talk to my mom!"

Teachers used paper and walked to students to share news. It was slow but quiet. Mike smiled, "We can talk face to face!"

Students learned to listen more. They helped each other and felt brave. Mrs. Lee said, "We all can try new things."

By the day’s end, no phones were okay. But friends felt close. They learned that talking and listening are important rights for everyone.
