Punctuation Post

Spike tipped out the farm mail bag. Letters tumbled everywhere.

"Oh no," said Suzy. "These notes have no full stops, no question marks and no capital letters!"

Little Thunder picked one up. "the hay is in the barn," he read.

"A sentence starts with a capital letter," said Suzy. "And a telling sentence ends with a full stop."

Little Thunder fixed it. "The hay is in the barn." He stamped a big dot at the end.

Spike read the next note. "where is my hat"

"That's asking something," said Little Thunder. "It needs a question mark!"

"Where is my hat?" read Spike. "Much better."

Then Suzy found a note from Canberra the cow. "the gate is open"

"That sounds important," said Spike. "It needs an exclamation mark!"

"The gate is open!" shouted Little Thunder.

Everyone ran to close the gate. Clang!

"Phew," said Canberra. "Thanks for fixing my note."

Little Thunder grinned. "Punctuation saves the day!"
