Something that is malleable can be hammered or rolled (deformed) into very thing sheets without tearing or breaking apart. We find that gold is wonderfully malleable, and this metal can be hammered into sheets thinner than a human hair.

Glass is not malleable. It would shatter if you put enough pressure on it. Paper is not malleable either, even though it comes in thin sheets. You can't crumple a piece of paper into a ball and then flatten it back out in a different shape!
