Monday – Add missing colons and semi-colons

Jerry couldn’t believe his eyes there were hundreds of kittens in waistcoats on the bus with him. There had to be a sensible explanation either he was dreaming, he was going mad or it was a practical joke.

Just then one of the kittens said, ‘My one’s made of velvet George’s is silk!’

Jerry screamed and suddenly found himself on his sofa. He must’ve been dreaming he knew he shouldn’t have eaten cheese before bedtime.
