I know a story very much like it, maybe a different spin on the same one.
You start by folding a boat from a rectangle of paper, pausing when you have the hat of the captain.http://www.dltk-bible.com/crafts/mboat.h…
When you have made the boat you start with letting it float with smooth moves (through the air, not on water,) and tell about the captain who is making a profitable journey.
Then he comes in a storm, make the boat rock harder, and the mast breaks, (tear out the mast and sail.)
If you want to story to be long you can have the storm die down or the ship being in the eye of the hurricane before coming back in the storm.
Now the bow and aft part of the ship break, (tear each while telling about the mishap happening.)
The ship sinks, with all on board, (let the left over of the boat fall on a table,) and all they find when search is the shirt of the captain. (Unfold the rests of the boat and see it for yourself.)
Better test this before doing it for an audience.
If in the part making the boat you do not fold the lower parts at the red line (in the link above) but a little lower down, the mast and sail will be much higher, compared to the boat itself.
hi! i don’t have the answer for your query but i am very interested in that paper trick..i want to tell my kids that story as well,it’s really interesting..can you tell me how the trick and story goes about?thanks much..
you have to fold the paper into a boat.. Then you tare off the top triangle and then each side of the boat. And when you open up whats left of the boat. is the white t-shirt. I don’;t remember the story but I think it was with Sailors not boyscouts. Good luck.
