1. Why do all the girls under the age of 9 have to wear hair ribbons? I think the girls under the age of 9 have to wear hair ribbons because it is respectful to others around them. Perhaps the Mayor of the town made it a rule for the younger girls to wear the ribbons as a sign of respect for the dead. The other reason could be to make the young girls look more like girls.

2. My question is - Why can't ages 1-8 ride bikes? I think that maybe the yunger kids can't ride bikes because the Mayor thinks they will get hert, like break a leg or a face plant which herts alot. The Mayor might also think that the kids won't take care of them.
