A kindly teacher demonstrates origami to his elementary class, but when he gives a paper crane to a child, it is stolen from him by Takeshi, the class bully. Takeshi discovers that the crane is actually a talking spaceship that transports him and his friends to a fairground in the stars. During the adventure a girl falls through a hole into Space Hell, and the children must cooperate to rescue her. Takeshi wakes up, wondering if it was all a dream. The next day he returns the magic crane to its rightful owner. This tale originates from Rainbow Across the Pacific, written by Daisuke Ikeda, who is the leader of the Buddhist Soka Gakkai organization, a part of the Shinshuukyou religious movement that is commonly considered a cult.
