Remember: Each of these marks is the top face of a key, and shift reaches it. Ask a grown-up before you type a real address.
Read and answer
Read the story, then answer.
Pickle the parrotZora had a club in a treehouse, and a parrot called Pickle who read whatever Zora typed and said it out loud. When Zora typed hello, Pickle said it in a tiny, flat voice. She added an exclamation mark, and Pickle squawked Hello! so loud the leaves shook. Next she wanted Pickle to ask a question, so she added the curly mark, the question mark, and Pickle tilted his head to ask. Each number key has two faces, and holding shift shows the top one. The exclamation mark is shift and the one key. The question mark is shift and the slash key. An email address has the at sign in the middle, which is shift and the two key. Uncle Deo had one rule: an address is only for people you know, so ask a grown-up before you type a real one. A hash sign and a word make a label, like hash cats: shift and the three key.
