Though family and neighbors try to help by making everything quieter, he remains distressed. Seeking silence, he encounters a young man with headphones, and the music finally blocks the noise and brings relief.","Too Much Noise  \nby Noni  \nIllustrations by Angie and Upesh  \nEnglish Story Book  \nCopyright © 2014, Pratham Books  \nYou are free to make commercial use of this work.

He had to walk along the new national highway that had come up near his village.  \nThat big road had many cars and trucks. Every driver seemed to be honking loudly. Paoon! Ponn! Paaa! The cows did not like the noise. They decided to go back home. Sringeri Srinivas just could not take them forward.  \nHe waved his hands at the drivers to stop the noise. This did not help. Seeing him, they just honked louder. The noise of the horns went straight into his head. And it stayed there.  \nIt was a bad day for him. He went back home with his cows.  \nMOOO! The cows were happy to be in the cowshed again. But the noise simply would not go away from his head.  \nPaoon! Ponn! Paaa! It kept on playing like a band of untrained musicians.  \nOther noises around him soon joined in the chorus. Even the sounds that he heard daily suddenly became too loud for Sringeri Srinivas.  \nThe ribbit ribbit of the frogs was noisy. The cicadas and their kirkk kirkk were too loud. Sringeri Srinivas wanted the hooting owls tobe sent away. He was angry at the koyals for screeching loudly at 4 am. And at the cows that mooed at 5 am. And whoever asked the roosters to act as alarm clocks? And that stupid tiger! Enough of his roaring!  \nPoor Sringeri Srinivas. His ears had become raw, like a fresh wound.  \nHe tried hard to keep things quiet. He shouted at the children if they talked loudly. He glared at his wife Parvatamma when the pressure cooker whistled and whistled.  \nPoor Sringeri Srinivas! He only wanted silence.  \nEveryone tried to help. Parvatamma stopped scolding the children.  \nThe children played cricket quietly with avery soft ball. The cows did not moo anymore. The cicadas and owls moved to another village. Even the tiger stopped growling.  \nYet Sringeri Srinivas was not happy.  \nHe could hear the noise of everyone trying tobe silent!  \n“I will go away from this place,” he declared one morning.  \n“Please don’t,” said Parvatamma.“Where will you 􀀱nd silence?”  \nSringeri Srinivas simply frowned at her and started to walk away from his village.  \nSoon, he came close to a new town. He watched the noisy people in the noisy town. A young man passed by. He had some wires dangling from his ears. Sringeri Srinivas could also hear a‘ting dang ting dang’ sound. The man looked very happy. He did not even notice that trucks were blaring horns nearby.  \n“What is this?” he asked the man.  \n“These are my headphones. Here, try them on,” the young man said. He put them on for Sringeri Srinivas. Music! Ting dang ting dang. No horns.“Aha! This is just what Ineed”, he said.","cbCaikbMPc41bH1V","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikbMPc41bH1V","pdf",33825180,15,"English","en",105,"# The cattle fair by the highway\n## When horns become unbearable\n## Trying to make everything quiet\n## Discovering headphones in town","[{\"question\":\"What ultimately gives Sringeri Srinivas the silence he wants?\",\"answer\":\"A young man offers him headphones.
