Sophie began the process of folding over each cookie. She didn't exactly know HOW she was going to fold these into fortune cookie shapes. It was like learning to tie your shoes when you were a little kid. You saw other peoples' tied shoes, but you couldn't just whip your own into a little bow without being shown how. You had to be taught. That's kind of how Sophie felt now. How was she supposed to randomly know how to make all the right folds?

Once all the cookies were folded, Sophie tried to get a good mental picture of what a fortune cookie should look like. All she had to do was kind of halfway fold the cookies once more time each, right? Sophie picked up the first cookie and experimented with it. It might not be a perfect fortune cookie, but it was at least the right shape! Sophie did the same with the other cookies, and pretty soon, they were all shaped like fortune cookies.
