this is the most amazing origami story. you have to fold a square piece of paper. make
17 things in the process and in the end make a boat. this story is about babloo. babloo
during summer vacations is supposed to go to his grandma's place and he finds that there
is a very fine lake over here. babloo thinks it would be very nice if he had a boat to
sail. grandma gives him some money and he goes to the market. and as he is walking by
he sees a very fancy store and finds this salt paper box. he falls for it and buys for
his grandma. as he saunters further down the road he finds a store selling ready made garments.
all kinds of fancy dumpers, jackets, clothes. he sees a very nice jacket with a collar and
two long sleeves. it had a beige color so he thinks that grandma is going to like it
very much so he bought this jacket for his grandmother. as he goes down further. he finds
a store selling a pair of very nice trousers. he buys this pair of trousers for his grandfather.
down the lane he finds big stores having boats for sale. babloo enters it, but all he finds
is that the store is selling steam boat with two funnel like chimneys. he says what will
i do with a steam boat. i need a small boat for my small lake. so babloo walks further
down and now he comes down to an antique store selling all kinds of period furniture. he
finds this teak table. he thinks that grandpa is going to love this and also he buys that.
now he is very tired and he finds a windmill and he brings some water there he finds other
store which is selling twin boats. he is not interested in twin boats either. so he walks
down further and he finds another store selling boats. when he enters inside he finds out
that this store is selling only sail boats. but he just wants an ordinary boat which he
can oar. now he is carrying this table and he feels tired. he finds a farmer with a rooster.
farmer is ready to exchange the rooster with the table. but as soon as babloo get holds
of the rooster it flies away and babloo is very very dejected because he had spent all
his money buying the salt paper box, jacket, trousers, he had no money left and the rooster
which he exchanged for the big table has also run away. so he is a bit dejected, his head
is hung down and he is walking down the road and what he sees is that on one side of the
road there something is lying. he sees that it is a purse, someone's fallen purse and
babloo is very excited. he sees inside and thre is some money. so that makes him very
happy. probably of course he goes to the nearest garment shop and buys himself a cricket cap,
a very cool cap and then as he is going down, he passes through this glittering market selling
all kinds of pretty things and there he sees a photography shop which has got very lovely
frames to put photographs. he likes one frame very much. he thinks that grandma will be
very happy to put my mama's photo in it and so he buys one. babloo seems to have forgotten
that he had come out to buy boats. then he remembers yes, that he has to buy a boat.
then he sees the biggest boat shop in town. discounted boats, boats on sale. when he goes
inside he finds a very nice boat in which two people could sit facing each other and
the boat had backrest for both of them. he thinks this would be a wonderful boat for
my grandparents and this is what he finally buys a chinese junk. he is happy with what
he had spotted and then he takes this boat and goes back home.
