Sadako was only two years old when the Hiroshima bomb fell. She seemed to be unharmed, but at age twelve, as she was preparing to run a marathon, Sadako was diagnosed with “radiation sickness” an aftermath of the bomb’s effects. With boundless optimism, she takes an old story to heart: “If a sick person folds a thousand paper cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her well again.”</span></div><div class="yiv3336356704MsoNormal" style="font-size: 12pt;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></div><div class="yiv3336356704MsoNormal"
