The King’s Quiet Son

Once upon a time, there were two princes—Adrian and Marcus. Adrian was the older brother. He was smart and had many good ideas, but he spoke too softly.
When Adrian spoke in the court, no one could hear him clearly.

The ministers had to ask him to repeat himself. Soldiers didn’t know if they should follow his orders. Even when Adrian had the best plans, no one listened carefully because his voice was too quiet.

Because Adrian’s voice was soft, people were always unsure. Sometimes they didn’t understand his ideas. Other times, they didn’t take him seriously. He tried to speak louder, but it didn’t work. It was like his words were lost.

Marcus, the younger brother, was different. His voice was loud and clear. When he spoke, people listened. He wasn’t always the smartest, but his words were strong. They trusted him because his voice was easy to hear.

One day, the kingdom faced a big problem. The king was sick, and enemies were coming to attack. The court looked to Adrian for help. This was his chance.

Adrian stood up to speak. He had a perfect plan in his mind, but his voice was still soft. People had to ask him to speak louder. The ministers couldn’t hear him well. The soldiers didn’t feel sure about what to do. No one felt confident.

Then Marcus stood up. He didn’t have the best plan, but his voice was strong and clear. He said, “We will fight together and win!”

The people could hear him. The soldiers followed him. Everyone felt confident. They won the battle. Adrian’s plan was forgotten because his voice didn’t make people believe in it.

Why Your Voice Matters
In this story, we see how important it is to speak clearly and loudly. Let me give you a few more examples to explain why.

In a Classroom:
Imagine you are in a classroom. The teacher asks a question, and you have the answer. But you speak so softly that no one hears you. What happens? You lose the chance to share your answer. But if you speak clearly and with confidence, everyone will hear you, and they will take you seriously. They will connect with you.

In a Job Interview:
If you are in an interview and you speak too quietly, the interviewer may think you are not confident. But when you speak clearly, with a strong voice, the interviewer will know you believe in yourself and your skills.

In a Group Discussion:
In a group, if you speak softly, others may ignore you. They might not hear your ideas. But when you speak loudly and clearly, people listen. They start to respect your opinions.

My Feedback:
Speaking softly causes problems. People don’t hear you clearly. They don’t understand you, and they don’t feel confident in your ideas. But speaking loudly and clearly removes those problems.

When your voice is strong, people listen. Your ideas become more powerful because your voice shows your confidence. You don’t need perfect grammar or vocabulary to speak clearly. What matters is that you speak with confidence, so people can hear and understand you.

Start practicing speaking loudly and clearly. Your words will have more impact, and people will listen to you more. I hope this story stays with you.
