In this chapter Sadako makes a friend that's named
Kenji.
Kenji has leukemia, even though he was not born when
the atom bomb happened. His mom gave him
the poison (leukemia). Sadako first met Kenji near a
maple tree in the courtyard. Sadako made Kenji two
cranes. One day Kenji did not show up in the
courtyard, Sadako heard rumbling of a bed being
pushed down a hallway. The nurse told Sadako that
Kenji had died, she turned away and started to cry.
The nurse told Sadako that they should talk. Sadako
stopped crying and folded two more cranes.

June rolls in and rain comes to stay as Sadakos mother
comes tip toeing into Sadako's room carrying Sadako's
favorite food!!! Such as egg rolls,pickled plums, chicken
and rice and for dessert, bean cakes!! No matter how hard
Sadako tried to eat, to please her mother, her gums were
swollen, and slowed her down from eating the food, even
the chewy, sweet bean cakes!! 'I am such a turtle!' She
scolded as she watched her mothers eyes shine, as she
might've cried a second ago. Just after, Masahiro paraded
into the room talking as if the school gossip was spilling
out of his mouth.

8 Last Days
Sadako folded over 500 paper cranes. Dr. Numata was happy with her process and told Sadako she could go
back to her home for a visit. By the end of the week Sadako was sick and pale again and was sent back to the
hospital. Sadako asked her parents "When I die, will you put my favourite bean cakes on the altar for my
spirit?" . The Sasaki family came to see Sadako and give her a present. Inside the box was a silk kimono
with cherry blossoms on it. After everyone had left Sadako folded her six hundred and forty-forth crane and
it was the last one she ever folded.
