Read the story, then answer.
A card for PopYara was making a card for her grandad, Pop. P, O, P: all three letters of Pop's name are on the top row. At first she hunted for them with one finger, and it took ages. Then Quill the parrot flapped onto the keyboard and walked along the top row, one foot on each key: q, w, e, r, t, y, u, i, o, p. Those ten letters make the top row, and the first six spell qwerty. Yara rested her fingers on the home row, reached up with the right finger for each letter, and after every reach, the finger came straight back home.
