Louis the swan was born with no voice. He could not say "beep" or say "koh-ho". When Louis got older the problem got to him. In order to marry another trumpeter swan he needs to win her heart by saying ''KOH-Ho''. Louis felt very discouraged. His father saw him having troubles with winning his love's heart.
His father went to the mother and told her that he will go to town and get a trumpet for their son Louis. His mother was very worried that the father swan would never get back with out getting shot or hurt.
A boy who goes to the lake where Louis lives, watched these baby swans get born and watch them grow up. Te boy is the only one who goes to this lake and he also is the only human who knows about the nest of swans and about Louis disability. The boy keeps the secret of the swans to himself and never tells a soul. Later in the book Louis flies to the boys house one day and the boy finds a way for him to talk.
