Kavi's Two New Marks

Kavi met two new end marks today. "A telling sentence stops with a full stop," he said, "but an asking sentence needs a question mark ? — like Where is my hat? And a sentence full of big feeling needs an exclamation mark ! — like What a mess! Listen to how my voice goes UP to ask, and gets LOUD to shout. Let's try them with me!"
