How about this one?

That smells good! said Dog, Cat, and Pig. Is that for us? NO! Stop! said Little Red Hen. I did the work. You did the play. So I will eat this bread. And so she did.

To recap

• We use quotation marks to show exactly what someone is saying.

• Quotation marks come in pairs, like socks.• If a statement quote is at the end of the

sentence, use regular periods.• BUT… if the statement quote is in the begining

or middle of the sentence, use a comma.
