    One morning, Sally woke up and found her red sneakers untied. She tried to tie them, but she couldn't remember how.

    She frowned at her shoes, then looked around her room, wondering who could teach her to tie her shoes.

    Sally walked into the kitchen and found her brother Jack eating his breakfast. She showed him her untied shoes and asked for help.

    Jack smiled and agreed to teach Sally. He carefully demonstrated how to make the first knot, then the bunny ear loop.

    Sally tried to tie her shoes just like Jack showed her. She made the first knot, but the bunny ear loop was tricky.

    She didn't give up, though. She untied and retied the laces, again and again, practicing until she could make the loop.

    The next morning, Sally woke up and looked at her red sneakers. She felt excited to try tying them again.

    She picked up the laces, made the first knot, then the bunny ear loop, and finally a perfect bow. She did it!

    Sally ran to the living room to show her parents. She proudly displayed her perfectly tied shoes.

    Her parents were very proud of her. They congratulated her on learning to tie her shoes by herself.

    At school, Sally showed her friends her tied shoes. They were amazed and asked her to teach them too.

    Sally agreed happily. She showed them how to make the first knot, then the bunny ear loop, just like Jack taught her.

    The next day at the park, Sally and her friends played all day. Their shoes stayed tied, and they didn't have to worry about tripping.
