Edit text: two pastors and a sign

Short answer

Two pastors are standing by the road with a sign: “The end is near! Turn around before it’s too late!” A driver yells, “You are nuts!” and speeds past. They hear screeching tyres, then a splash. One pastor says, “Should our sign just say Bridge broken?”

Edit the following: Two pastors are standing by the side of a road holding up a sign that reads. The end is near turn around now before its too late! A passing driver yells, "you guys are nuts!" and speed past them. From around the curve, they hear screeching tyres- then a big splash. One of the pastors says to the other, do you think we should just put up a sign that says Bridge broken instead?

Two pastors are standing by the side of a road, holding up a sign that reads, "The end is near! Turn around now before it's too late!" A passing driver yells, "You guys are nuts!" and speeds past them. From around the curve, they hear screeching tyres, then a big splash. One of the pastors says to the other, "Do you think we should just put up a sign that says 'Bridge broken' instead?"

Corrections made

  • Comma after "road" and after "reads"; the text of the sign is put in quotation marks with correct punctuation.
  • "its" corrected to "it's" (it is).
  • "you guys" starts with a capital letter inside the quotation marks.
  • "speed" changed to "speeds" (agrees with the singular subject "driver").
  • A dash replaced by a comma after "tyres" and the speech of the pastor placed in quotation marks.
  • The question mark added at the end of the question.
