One Thousand Cranes

An ancient Japanese legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures , and is said to live for a thousand years. In Japan, it is commonly said that folding 1000 paper origami cranes makes a person's wish come true. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family.

A paper crane can be given by folder, who is wishing happiness and prosperity upon the receiver. A crane can bring long life and good luck. Hanging a crane in one's home is thought to be a powerfully lucky and benevolent charm.

Feel free to post a note or picture where you found your crane.

Money and origami.  There is not a better way to leave a tip for a server, and add a smile to their face.  One word of caution.  You must tell them to never feed their new money pet.  No matter how much complaining the money pet does, they should never, ever be feed.  Because if you do, the money pet will eat everything they can find.  Taste is not an issue.  It just has to be chewable.  You may think this mean and cruel, but do not worry.  If the money pet really truly becomes hungry, they can buy their own food.  After all, they are made of money.
