Sir, my hat is a cow!

Said the old man to the young boy,

Boy, listen well! Take a letter, sent by a lost lover, and fold it into a crane. Whisper to it, it feeds on your words. In the stillness of night, tell it your dreams; hopes; fears; all the secrets in your heart. Now, this is very important. Are you listening? Boy! I tell you pay attention! Take the crane and carefully burn it in a flame, gathering all the ashes and saving them. Throw them to the wind boy and then follow your dreams!
