Kavi Listens, Then Asks
"I love to ask questions!" said Kavi. "But first I listen to what you say. Then I ask a question that fits — one that is about the very thing you just told me. I start my question with a little helper word: who for a person, what for a thing, where for a place, why for a reason, and how for the way. A good question keeps us talking!"
