Origami: How to fold a Turtle

Like a proverb, “Cranes live for 1,000 years,

turtles live for 10,000 years”, turtles really live long.

 

I remember the turtle,

that my grandfather bought me at festival when I was a little,

grew so big after years that I was so amazed.

 

Let’s make such an auspicious turtle with origami paper!
