Every icon has a spot waiting for it: the duck goes by the pond, the sheep gets the hill, and the paper crane flies over the rooftops. The calendar and the clock are folded from the same paper, pinned into the sky. You decide where everyone lives, and the village still looks like one handmade diorama.
