how the punctuation marks got different

Once upon a time, there were three periods. one was called a question mark, one was called a period, and one was called an exclamation mark. The first period, called the period, behaved very well. He stayed the same. When the sentence was always over, he said, "That was the end of the sentence."

The second period, called the question mark, always did the bad thing. He said, "What will happen?" So God put a curse on him, and he got a squiggly line above him.

The third period, called the exclamation mark, didn't behave well. After he was supposed to say "That was the end of the sentence," he said, "Whoa! That's surprising!". So God put a curse on him, and he got a straight line on his head.
