““Joey was lying by the stream one afternoon after a hard day. He had been in trouble at school because he had left his homework at home. He had done the work, but his teacher didn’t believe him that he had completed it. Joey was still a bit upset with his teacher. Suddenly, he heard a very soft voice say, “Hello.” Joey sat up and looked around, but he couldn’t see anyone. So, he laid back down by the stream only to hear the voice again. The voice sounded bubbly and a little like running water. Joey didn’t know where it was coming from.””
