 Japanese tradition holds that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will be blessed with health and long life. Sadako Sasaki was 2 years old when  the atom bomb exploded over Hiroshima.      Sadako was not injured then- but 10  years later, she fell ill with leukemia, the A-bomb sickness. From her hospital bed,  Sadako set out to fold 1,000 cranes. At first it was easy, but as the illness grew worse, each fold became an immense labor. When she died, she had completed only 644.

    From her bed hse held up one crane and said in a quiet voice, "I will write peace on your  wings and you will fly all over the world." The story of Sadako became widely known and others took up her unfinished task.
   
In Hiroshima's Peac Park, stands the staue of  a young girl, a victim of the bombing. Every year on Children's Day it is covered with  blizzards of cranes, brough by children from all over Japan. The children mourn the atom bomb's victims and vow to join in building a world that will choose the way of peace.  "This is our cry, this is our prayer: Peace in the World."
