Ama Does It Herself

1Ama sat on the front steps in her new sneakers. Every morning, Grandpa tied the long purple laces for her. But today, Ama said, "I want to do it myself!"

2First, she crossed the laces to make an X. Then she tucked one lace under and pulled it tight. Next, she made two loops like bunny ears.

3Oh no! The loops slipped apart. Ama frowned. Grandpa smiled and said, "Try one more time."

4Ama made the bunny ears again, slowly and carefully. She crossed them and pulled one through. This time, the bow stayed! In the end, Ama hopped onto the bus with a proud smile.

What did Ama want to do by herself?
