( Emil hadn't honestly connected two and two together that it was actually some magical thing. It was just a silly thing to do with the Palai kids and it became a quick hobby from there. )

It's magic? I'm not sure if it's that serious -- they're just a fun, quick thing to make. ( Emil picks one up and begins to unfold it as best he can. ) I don't think you actually get to make a wish afterward since it's a children's story, but isn't it fun to think about wishes anyway? I can't decide on just one...I'd have to make several thousand.

If it was real, anyway. ( And if he wouldn't get a litle put off the first time he got a papercut. )
