My dog is wet. What do you need at the end of the sentence to make it a sentence? And what do we have to do at the beginning of the sentence? Give me your pencil. The first letter has to be a capital letter. So we're going to make a capital M. That's a capital M. So that's what you should start it.

He's a bear, but he's too small to get him. So he can't, he can't, can he reach the bear? No. No, he can't reach the bear. I wonder what he's gonna do to try to reach the bear. He's gonna, he's, um... Hitting the tree and the tree's shaking. Good idea. And if the tree shakes, what's going to happen? The teddy bear is going to fall and he'll catch it. Maybe. Do you think it's going to work? Yeah. What do you think they're going to try next? Can I cut the tree down? Cut the tree down? That's a really good idea.
