 Examples:
Hi, do you like origami, the art of paper folding? I like it. Now, I’ll tell you how to make a
paper puppet. The first thing you have to do is prepare two sheets of paper in the form of
rectangle, a marker pen, and scissors.
Step 1      :     Place the paper on a flat surface. Make a crease from every corner to corner.
Now, you have a center crease.
Step 2      :     Fold every corner to the center.
Step 3      :     Flip the paper over, then fold every corner to the center. 
Step 4      :     Flip the paper over again, and fold every corner to the center.
Step 5      :     Flip the paper over. Now, unfold the two double-triangular flaps. Hold them
up. And squeeze well. Now, you have the two ears of the paper puppet.
Step 6      :     Then, unfold the others two double-triangular flaps. Pull them out. You will
make the coat of the puppet.
Step 7      :     The next thing you do is use the marker pen and draw eyes for your paper
puppet and decorate its coat.
Step 8      :     Now, take another sheet of paper, fold it  again and again in every 1 cm until
no space left. Now, you have a stick for your paper puppet.
Step 9      :     Then, make a small ‘V’ cut in the center bottom of the paper puppet.
Step 10    :     Insert the stick that you have made in the previous step to the ‘V’ cut in step
9 and gently push till it touches the end and squeeze the face portion well.

         Hey! You have done a paper puppet. Now, you can play with it and say ‘hello’ to your
friend beside you. And go on the conversation with your friend. Enjoy the time.
