Storyboard Text
- At Laketon Elementary School, Dave Packer and Lynsey Burgess are two talkative fifth graders. They don’t like each other, mainly because they belong to opposite genders. One day, Dave tries being silent at school after reading about Mahatma Gandhi’s weekly day of silence. When he has to give a speech, he coughs vigerously so he can avoid speaking.
- Dave says that girls talk more than boys, and he dares Lynsey and all the fifth-grade girls to be more silent than the boys. They agree to a two-day contest with the exception that if a teacher asks a question, they are allowed to give a three-word answer.
- Principal Hiatt finds the fifth graders are still quiet at lunch. Angry, she demands that Dave speak in full sentences to his friend, but Dave retorts that the students have a right to remain silent during their lunch period. Mrs. Hiatt leaves in a huff, and the students applaud and cheer. Dave gets sent to the principal’s office, where he apologizes to Mrs. Hiatt, but she turns the tables and apologizes to him for her own outburst. On a hunch, Dave invites her to join the students in the three-word rule, and Mrs. Hiatt accepts. She calls another assembly, where she announces that the contest now applies to all students from first grade on up.
