Impotant notice:

 

The picture on the left is the folding map for the so called "qudrant folding" of the steps #33-38.

 

If you will be puzzled at those steps, you can come back to this folding map and apply four mountain folds. Then you will get the step 40 right away.

 

By studying this mountain-folding on the four blue dotted dash-lines, you can figure out what the alignment of the negative-y and x axes really mean.

Turn the paper the over.

 

Now, the paper has four quadrants.

 

Try to imagine that the x-axis is attached to the edge of quadrant IV and the negative y-axis to the edge of quadrant III.

The Buffoon and the Countryman Fable



At a country fair there was a Buffoon who made all the people laugh by imitating the cries of various animals. He finished off by squeaking so like a pig that the spectators thought that he had a porker concealed about him. But a Countryman who stood by said:

"Call that a pig's squeak! Nothing like it. You give me till tomorrow and I will show you what it's like."

The audience laughed, but next day, sure enough, the Countryman appeared on the
stage, and putting his head down squealed so hideously that the spectators hissed and threw stones at him to make him stop.

"You fools!" he cried, "see what you have been hissing," and held up a little pig whose ear he had been pinching to make him utter the squeals


Men often applaud an imitation and hiss the real thing
