"I hope God likes chocolate!"
I made these when I was in grade 5 (age 10). Our teacher read “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes” to our class. One particular moment in the story, Sadako’s mother visits Sadako at the hospital and gives her a piece of paper which her sister saved for her. Sadako takes the paper and says “Mmmm, smells like candy. I hope God likes chocolate”. Everyone laughed including Sadako.
Around that time I went through an origami craze and saved bits of paper and candy wrappers to do origami out of them. Mmmm… kitkat and hershy’s cookies ‘n creme… (I don’t eat this stuff as much now :P)
For those who don’t know the story of the thousand paper cranes, there is a legend that says if you fold 1000 peace cranes, your wish will come true. Sadako Sasaki suffered from leukemia, and folded cranes while she was in the hospital in how of getting better.

Awww, thanks so much my friend for refreshing that story to me, I also read it in 5th grade too and learned how to make it and still remember how to make it. Excellent story! Wow cannot believe you still save it! You have chosen a excellent title for this work! Well done my friend!
Mui-Ling Teh replied
Wow you also read it in grade 5? What a coincidence! I’m not surprised the least bit that you know the story because I know many people do, but just the fact it was the same grade. I save a lot of things; I’m very sentimental :P
Lam Tran
That’s great my friend, it’s good to save memorable things because some day you never know it could be worth something or bring everlasting memories!
