Nala and Simba turned around. They discovered they were in a scary place. Nala and Simba were excited. They didn’t know how dangerous it could be. Simba ran to explore the huge elephant skull in front of them. Three hyenas came out of the skull. The hyenas attacked Nala and Simba, but they ran away, so the hyenas attacked Zazu. Simba ran back to save him, but the hyenas turned on Simba and Nala again. Nala fell and Simba turned around to save her. They fell into the ribcage of a dead elephant. The hyenas trapped them. They were saved by Mufasa.
Quote = Chocolate cake is my favorite.
Jan said, "Chocolate cake is my favorite.""Chocolate cake is my favorite!" Jan exclaimed. "Chocolate cake is my favorite," Jan replied." Jan asked, "Is chocolate cake your favorite?"
Put quotes around the exact words. End punctuation goes inside the quotation marks.
Go to the next line for each new quote. For example...
"It's really creepy," said Nala. "Yeah, isn't it great?" Simba replied. "We could get in big trouble," Nala said nervously. "I know!" Simba said and laughed as he walked toward the elephant bones.
