Jake and Jackie Learn How to Tie a Tie
By Beth Beutler 		  
1     "Ugh. I have to wear a tie on Saturday!" Jake said to Jackie. "I never wear ties!"
 
2     "Why do you have to wear one Saturday?" Jackie asked as she looked up from the doodling she was doing in the sandbox with a 7-inch stick that had fallen from a tree.
 
3     "My cousin is getting married. Mom says the wedding is very formal so I have to wear a suit and tie."
 
4     Jackie grinned. "I'm sure you will look very nice," she said.
 
5     Jake made a face. "I wish I could just wear one of those clip on ties, but Mom bought me a special one. So, I'll actually have to tie it. Where will I learn to do that?"
 
6     "Doesn't your Dad know how to tie a tie?" Jackie asked.
 
7     "I guess so."
 
8     "Let's go ask him."
