Punctuation run run the owner is coming said the knaughty boywhile others giggledthey were in fact gathering the windfall mangoe

Ilya [14]

If if the question is to put in the right punctuation than I think this should be it (“run the owner is coming” said the naughty boy, while others giggled, they were in fact gathering the windfall mangoes. Why are you here? I'll punish you. “you will never get hold of me”)
