Aunt Linnea shows young Cheryl origami. She folds a boat. She presents it to Cheryl. She has Cheryl hold the mast. Then she has Cheryl close her eyes.
There is the sound of paper folding and unfolding.
Linnea has Cheryl open her eyes again.

“Show me!” says Cheryl. “Show me! Show me!”
And — and after much teasing and many refusals — Linnea does.
