Silent Reading: Chapter 11 The Phantom Tollbooth "Discord and Dymme" Milo woke up and decided to conduct the colorful symphony himself. It didn't go as planned. When he tried to stop the musicians they wouldn't stop and kept going on and on faster and faster, making every color a different color. When Chroma finally woke up, he stopped it and suggested that Milo and his friends continue their journey. They went through the forest of sight and saw a tractor with enormous letters on it that said "Cochonous A. Discord Doctor of Dissonance" and decided to go in. Inside was a strange man with enormous ears the size of his head who kept asking them strange questions like "Have you ever heard a blind octopus unwrap a cellophane covered bathtub?" He turned out to be the Doctor of sound. He made every sound in the world go on, but not soft sounds—bangs, crashes, squawks…all of the annoying sounds in the world. He had an assistant named Dymme. He was the "awful din" that made all of the sounds! He's the one making the ruckas. Milo and his friends didn't want to be around the doctor and his assistant, it was too loud. So they kept going. Dymme said that the valley of sound, the place Milo and friends were heading to next was awful. Milo and his friends didn't know what to expect.
