Ramya's Kaleidoscope

Ramya , a little girl from neighborhood taught me to make a new type of Kaleidoscope,
with just three rectangular mirrors , attached at the edges to form a hollow prism .
No bangle pieces , just a hollow mirror prism . She came to learn to make an
actual kaleidoscope . We made the hollow prism and were wondering what we would do
about the missing bangle pieces .
Oh no ! I was wondering. She was already looking at the well lit curtain through it ,
while rotating the prism . The kaleidoscope was right in her eyes .......

Hexagonal patterns of flowers on the curtains swirling like
a revolving flora-fountain ...........

You too can make it , with just three mirrors .....
