The kids on Jona's school fold many aircraft, it's totally hot. Then the kids have competitions, to see whose plane lands the furthest away or stays in the air for the longest time. They have a lot of fun playing with their planes, so Jona wants to show the kids on snazzie how to fold a simple but cool airplane.
