This morning, Lila arrived at school with her dad.
In his bag, there are his brand new sports sneakers, with long white laces.
Lila doesn't know how to tie her shoelaces yet.
Her dad told her, "You can ask the teacher if you need anything."
Now it's recess.
Afterwards, there will be sports in the gymnasium.
The teacher said, "After recess, you will put on your sports shoes."
Lila opens her bag.
She sees her lace-up sneakers.
In the school changing room, there are also her old Velcro shoes that she always keeps there.
Lila hesitates.
