The Paper Crane.

These photos remind me of The Paper Crane, a wonderful book, a Reading Rainbow book! It tells the story of a restaurant owner and his son who lose their patrons when a new highway bypasses their street. When a poor man comes to them one evening, they gladly serve him a fine meal for little pay. Before leaving, he gives his hosts a paper crane which will becomes a living bird upon the clap of their hands. The dancing crane brings crowds to the restaurant and prosperity to the owners. These also remind me of the tiny Origami boxes and animals my cousin used to fold. We even have a tiny Christmas tree with only Origami ornaments on it.
