This is the most amazing origami story. With a square paper you fold a dozen different things and in the end make a wonderful boat. This story is about Babloo’s who visits his grandparents during his summer vacations. He discovers a lake near their house and wishes a boat ride in the lake. Grandma gives him money to buy a boat. 
So, off Babloo goes to the market to shop for a boat. As he walks by the shops he sees a crockery store selling a SALT-PEPPER BOX. He thinks his grandma will like it so he buys one. As he saunters further down the road he finds a store selling ready made garments. There are many colorful clothes hanging in the store. Babloo likes a JACKET with a collar and sleeves. He thinks it will fit grandma beautifully so he buys it. A little further down Babloo finds another fancy store selling TROUSERS. As he has bought a jacket for his grandma so he buys a pair of trousers for grandpa. 
Further down he sees a big signs saying BOATS FOR SALE. When he goes in Babloo finds only TWIN CHIMNEY steam boats. What will I do with such a big boat? So Babloo walks out and wanders further. As he enters a bylane he spots an antique store selling old furniture. Here Babloo spots a teak TABLE which he buys for his grandpa. 
The table is heavy and after sometime Babloo feels tired of carrying it. He also feels very thirsty and soon he spots a WINDMILL. There is a water fountain near the windmill where Babloo quenches his thirst and rests. 
Then he finds another store selling TWIN-BOATS. What will I do with it? Babloo thinks and enters another store, which is selling SAIL-BOATS. As he wanted only a small boat so he walks out.
Babloo now has second thought about buying the table. It was too heavy. Soon he comes to a farmer and exchanges the table for a HEN. As Babloo tries to catch the hen it flies away! Babloo is now feeling very sad. He has frittered all his money on unnecessary things. He still hasn’t bought a boat. 
As Babloo is sulking and walking down the road he spots a purse lying near the roadside. Babloo looks left, and then right and stealthily picks up the purse. On opening he finds a lot of money. The first thing Babloo does is to buy himself a nice cool, CRICKET-CAP. As he walks further he finds a store selling PHOTO-FRAMES. My grandma will like it, Babloo thinks and he buys one. 
Finally Babloo finds a store with a sign DISCOUNTED BOATS FOR SALE. Here Babloo finds a very pretty boat with two seats. It is called as the RAJA-RANI boat or the CHINESE-JUNK. Babloo thinks his grandparents could use it later. So Babloo buys this fancy boat and returns back home! This work was supported by IUCAA and Tata Trust.
