Folding Paper on Weekends

Boys and girls, what did you do last weekend? There are many things you could do. Some boys went out to play soccer or tennis and some girls just stayed at home and did some reading. Now it's time to do something new on weekends. A French young man Eric Joisel has his own idea about that.

Eric Joisel in Paris, France, is interested in paper folding (折纸). Not like others, he doesn't think it is just for children. He spent many weekends in folding paper. Then he held his first origami show in Paris. The word "origami" is from Japanese. It is the art of folding paper into different shapes (形状) like flowers and animals.
