    Luan hesitated for a moment, then confessed, "Mom, I'm scared that people will laugh at me when I speak. So, I prefer to stay quiet." His mother listened with understanding and concern.

    The next day, she invited all of Luan's classmates to their house. She asked them to hide in the living room while she brought Luan inside, completely unaware of the surprise waiting for him.

    She led Luan into the room and asked him to close his eyes. She gave him a warm hug and said, "Imagine you're not alone in this room. Start talking slowly, calmly, just like you're talking to me."
