Little Bear Learns to Tie His Shoes

El osito aprende a atarse los zapatos

Once upon a time, in a cozy forest, there lived a little bear named Benny. Benny was a happy and curious bear who loved exploring the woods and playing with his friends. But there was one thing that Benny couldn't do - tie his shoes. Every time he tried, his shoelaces got all tangled up, and Benny would end up frustrated. "I wish I could tie my shoes like the big bears," Benny sighed. Érase una vez, en un acogedor bosque, vivía un osito llamado Benny. Benny era un oso feliz y curioso al que le encantaba explorar el bosque y jugar con sus amigos. Pero había una cosa que Benny no podía hacer: atarse los zapatos. Cada vez que lo intentaba, los cordones de sus zapatos se enredaban y Benny terminaba frustrado. "Me gustaría poder atarme los zapatos como los osos grandes", suspiró Benny.

One sunny morning, Benny's friend, Sammy the Squirrel, came to visit him. Sammy was very clever and knew how to do many things. "Hey, Benny! I heard you want to learn how to tie your shoes," Sammy said with a mischievous grin. "I can teach you!" Benny's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Really, Sammy? That would be amazing!" Una mañana soleada, el amigo de Benny, Sammy la Ardilla, vino a visitarlo. Sammy era muy inteligente y sabía hacer muchas cosas. "¡Oye, Benny! Escuché que quieres aprender a atarte los zapatos", dijo Sammy con una sonrisa traviesa. "¡Puedo enseñarte!" Los ojos de Benny brillaron de emoción. "¿En serio, Sammy? ¡Eso sería increíble!"

Sammy showed Benny the first step of tying shoelaces. "Take one end of the lace and make a loop like this," Sammy demonstrated, looping his lace around his paw. Benny watched closely, determined to get it right. "I can do this," he thought. With Sammy's patient guidance, Benny practiced and practiced until he could make a perfect loop. Sammy le mostró a Benny el primer paso para atarse los cordones de los zapatos. "Toma un extremo del cordón y haz un lazo como este", demostró Sammy, enrollando el cordón alrededor de su pata. Benny observó atentamente, decidido a hacerlo bien. "Puedo hacer esto", pensó. Con la paciente guía de Sammy, Benny practicó y practicó hasta que pudo hacer un bucle perfecto.

Next, Sammy showed Benny the second step. "Now take the other end of the lace, cross it over the loop, and bring it through like this," Sammy explained as he carefully demonstrated. Benny followed along, his determination shining in his eyes. After many tries, he finally succeeded in getting the lace through the loop, creating a neat knot. Luego, Sammy le mostró a Benny el segundo paso. "Ahora toma el otro extremo del cordón, crúzalo sobre el lazo y pásalo así", explicó Sammy mientras hacía una demostración cuidadosa. Benny lo siguió, su determinación brillando en sus ojos. Después de muchos intentos, finalmente logró pasar el cordón a través del lazo, creando un nudo limpio.

For the final step, Sammy showed Benny how to make a strong knot. "Take one lace, make a loop, and bring the other lace through it. Then, pull both laces tight," Sammy instructed. Benny focused all his attention, determined to overcome this last challenge. With a deep breath, he followed Sammy's instructions carefully and made a perfect knot. Para el paso final, Sammy le mostró a Benny cómo hacer un nudo fuerte. "Toma un cordón, haz un lazo y pasa el otro cordón a través de él. Luego, aprieta ambos cordones", instruyó Sammy. Benny centró toda su atención, decidido a superar este último desafío. Respirando profundamente, siguió cuidadosamente las instrucciones de Sammy e hizo un nudo perfecto.
