== The Story of Sammy String Turns Into a Knot ==
There was once a piece of string called Sammy who lived in a useful things box. Now Sammy String was very sad. He lay at the bottom of the useful things box and sighed a great sigh. "What on earth is the matter, Sammy?" Asked Rosie Ribbon. "I'm fed up with just lying here." Said Sammy. "Nothing ever happens, and I never get taken away and used for anything." "Well, it's your own fault, if you ask me." Called Shirley Shoelace. "You don't do anything for yourself." "Like what?" Asked Sammy. "Well, look at Rosie for instance. Go on, Rosie. Show him your bow." "All right." Said Rosie shyly, as she quickly tied herself into a lovely bow. "Wow!" Said Sammy. "That's why Rosie's so useful, you see." Said Shirley. "She makes the prettiest bows you've ever seen." "So why are you useful?" Asked Sammy. "Because I do bows too!" Laughed Shirley. "I'm a shoelace, aren't I? Shoelaces have to make bows." And she showed him. "What could I make then?" Asked Sammy. "Knots!" Replied Shirley firmly. "String is best for knots. Look, I'll show you." And she showed Sammy how to tie both ends of himself together to make a really good knot. Soon, Sammy was busy practicing his knots, and in no time at all, he became one of the most useful things in the useful things box.
