A/N: Usually I don't update a story unless I've written 1000+ words, but the other day I was messing around on my laptop and saw that my sister was looking up origami and I remembered this little folk-lore I read about a few years ago and wrote this short poem for the brothers of Big Hero 6.
The folk-lore, for those who don't know it, basically stated that if you fold 1000 paper cranes then you will get one wish. In this poem, Hiro attempts to make 1000 paper birds in order to wish for his older brother back.
'They say it takes 1000 paper cranes,
1000 paper birds in exchange for one wish.
One made each hour, and 100 a day.
Ten days left, to wish you back, alive and okay.
1000 paper cranes, with the paper wrinkled and torn.
Unsteady hands, to shaky to complete the first fold-
It was always you who would fold them, when smaller hands could not.
There is only room for one wish now, and since that ones for you,
The folding skill can't be wished for.
But I will learn how to in real time...
If thats what I must do-
One crane is fold, then placed in a glass nest.
999 more to follow, and then hands can rest,
For though it is many until this goal is met,
You may not know it yet...
...But I'm not giving up on you yet...
