First We Fold, Second We Draw

Mei and Sam sat at the kitchen table. They wanted to make a paper plane.

Mei: First, take a piece of paper.

Sam: Okay. I have it.

Mei: Second, fold it in the middle.

Sam: Like this?

Mei: Yes. Then fold the two corners down. That's the design.

Sam: It looks good! Let's add a detail. I want to draw a face on it.

Mei: A face? Why?

Sam: Every plane needs a happy face!

Mei: Okay. First we fold, second we draw. Now we fly it!

(Sam throws the plane. It flies up, then down, then into the milk.)

Sam: First it flies. Second it swims.

Mei: We did not design a boat, Sam!
