The Ballad of the Paper Bag

Have you ever noticed the way a paper bag folds up? Next time you see one, take a close look at it. When the bag is folded down, it appears to just be a flat piece of brown paper, but when you unfold it, it becomes something different, it changes into a three-dimensional object. To me it is extraordinarily amusing to watch this process unfold. It’s almost like reading a pop up book when I was a little kid; there is just something interesting about the way the lifeless paper can jump right up, move around, and change. Maybe I’m crazy, but next time you see a paper bag, take a closer look and maybe you will be just amazed as I am.
