Original: When animals get scared, each has a special trick! Some hide, some run away, and one … makes a stinky smell! Now, who does what?
Corrected (simple): When animals get scared, each has a special trick. Some hide, some run away, and one makes a stinky smell. Now, who does what?
Why this change?
- I replaced the exclamation mark after the first sentence with a period so the sentence reads smoothly before the list. Both are okay, but a period makes the two sentences flow better together.
- The ellipsis (three dots) was removed because it isn't needed. Plain words work best for young readers: "one makes a stinky smell" is clear.
- The verbs match the subjects: "Some hide, some run away" (plural) and "one makes" (singular). That is correct grammar.
- The short question at the end, "Now, who does what?", is fine as it is — it invites the reader to guess which animal does each trick.

If you want, I can pick which animals do each trick and make a short quiz for a 7-year-old!
