(It's my first post on 4chan, let me know if I do something bad) Have you heard of a legend about 1000 of paper cranes? People say if you make 1000 of them, your wish can get granted. So, for the sake of my wish I decided to try. I have over 100 cranes, but I rarely have time to make more, so I'm trying. Have a nice night, byeee!

>>623776(OP) It's pretty much the only thing I can do without reference. I fold and leave them about places. My third one is still my favourite, a little purple flower print thing that looks somehow jaunty. They're always slightly uneven though. I hate that.
>>623777 I've started drinking more Twinnings tea which came individually wrapped in foil, which I consider super wasteful, I prefer the Europan fruit teas which comes in cardboard boxes of bulk tea bags but it's hard to fine. I'm very pleased to discover that the foil wrappers are good for making silver paper cranes, and it looks kind neat too the other way around, I like having the foil on the outside as it's fruity scented naturally. I think when I drink the new box of Irish Breakfast Tea or Mint which have green packaging, I'll use it to make a grasshopper. Or a mini box for an even tinier grasshopper or crane . oat, Or paper boat, I remember folding these as a kid but I forgot how.

>>623776(OP) Brother... it's something they tell kids in order to train them to be patient and occupy themselves. The Japanese are not inherently ambitious people as individuals. Kid says, "I want X (or to be Y)," parents says, "that's nice, honey. Maybe go fold a thousand cranes for four months and it will come true"

>>629396 There is a real legend, but in the end the wish didn't come true and it ends up being a sad story. People just get fixated on the wish granting.
