"Now that we've done that, we are going to fold the edge up to this crease, and same thing on this side; fold this edge to this crease. And once we've done that, we are going to fold this edge over, this point to this point, fold it over like this, so that it's at the base of these points right here. Fold it over and same thing on this side. At the base of these points we are going to fold it over. Now, that completes our tumbling toy, and we are going to tumble it. Push the top, and it tumbles; however, if you do it on this side it doesn't tumble. Now, why it that? That's because this side is much heavier than this side, so if you have the heavier side on top it will tumble, but if you have the lighter side on top it will not tumble. This is a fun trick to play with your friends, and the most observant friend will figure it out."
