Why did sudako want to fold a thousand paper crows?

Answer 1

she didn't.

she wanted to make a thousand paper cranes because there is an old Japanese legand, myth, call it what you want, that if you fold a thousand paper cranes you can have any wish you want. (paper cranes being the symbol of good heath and long life)

sudako only made 644 before she died. now there is a song about sadako, a statue of sudako holding a giant paper crane in Peace Park in Japan and Seattle, and letters from her mother and friend are posted on websites.

if you want to know more, there are sites such as these below that can help a great deal.
