<human>:  How do you tie a knot?
<bot>: 
1. Start by doubling the strand of rope or cord in your hand.
2. Cross the left end over the right end.
3. Take the end that is now on the left and loop it back and around the right-hand piece.
4. Take the end that is now on the right and cross it over the loop and through the opening.
5. Pull both ends of the rope tight to secure the knot.
