Origami
minty:
This story is sooooooo touching! Thank you for telling us, Ralae. Actually, I have an idea, can we have a topic for stories in this forum??
AkaiYuki:
Hmm, I know that story.. But the thing about her not completing the cranes is a myth.. Supposedly she actually folded over 1,300 cranes before she died.
But the one where she only folded 644 is sweeter, ne? XD Cuz her friends and family helped! ^_^
Also, her wish was not just to get well. Her was was not only for her to get well, but for no child to ever die in such a way ever again.
Ralea:
Did she finish her 1000?! *curses memory* I didn't knew that. I remember was she only finished 644 cranes. My memory is really getting rusty these days.
minty:
Awww...she wished that other children to get well too! that's so sweet and thoughtful of her. Now that I know the story behind the cranes, I think origami becomes even more meaning to me.

No no no, there's two stories! I'm not 100% sure which one is true, though. But most sources say that the 644 thing was just to make the book ((written about her)) more touching, you know? I dunno why they picked 644, though.. If they were gonna spruce up the story a bit, you'd think they would have made it 999 or something! XD But maybe that wouldn't work because only one person would be able to help her instead of all of her friends and family.
So you are right, there IS a story where she only finished 644, but I've read that in truth she finished the 1000.
