“She knew the prognosis wasn’t good and she didn’t want to die. Her father told her a Japanese legend that said if you folded one thousand paper cranes you would be granted a wish. She began furiously folding cranes.
“She made 1,000 and started on a second batch. Her classmates, family and friends pitched in. But unfortunately, she was only able to fold 644 more cranes and died on Oct. 25, 1955 — not quite a year after being diagnosed.”
From the article The Girl Who Transformed the Paper Crane Into the Symbol for Peace and Hope
