A narrow strip of fabric folds, flips, and weaves between fingers, slowly rising into shape until it locks into a closed .

I've designed a code for you here—
With this code success is guaranteed—
Money and blessings are on the
code— Alright—
Have you finished the design yet —
I've completed it—
Then let's head straight to putting it into action—
Let me give you a piece to work on Okay
These are two pieces of fabric threaded together joined into one piece then stitched
into a bridge-like structure
We'll take the wire
and wrap it inside
Wink one eye
Now my eyes have a direction
Look here
Look at what I've made
A century has passed
I see you've been using this single thread all along
never once cutting it
No no
it's even more demanding on skill
Exactly just finish it all at once
Yes
A rope coiled up
Look at this one
right It's amazing
See the shape forms
when you inflate it
This one's red
Now a yellow one
Hey
What's the weather like It's fine actually
Is there blessing
in the code Yes indeed there is blessing in the code From
now on with this code in
our hall say to the code:
first tear it apart then rub it with
your hands and finally
cut a little bit
Look here—cut
a small piece
then slide the fabric in
So small
Then put it inside
Nice right
— Pretty
huh — Yes
— Just a
little bit
more — Is that okay
— Is
it big enough —
This one yes
— Just this
one — Hey
—
Let's make a small
blue one —
Blue exactly
Yes yes Yes
It's red
Pretty
Pretty right
It's its red color
