How to make origami paper cranes

Some time ago I promised teacher Emilia that I was going to show her children "How to make origami paper cranes" because they were reading about an ancient Japanese legend.
The legend promises that anyone who folds a thousand origami cranes will be granted a wish by a crane, such as long life or recovery from illness or injury. This makes them popular gifts for special friends and family. 
The crane in Japan is one of the mystical or holy creatures (others include the dragon and the tortoise), and is said to live for a thousand years.
In this video you can learn to make a paper crane. Good luck.
