| Koohii Story 1 | Hint: Artisan/Ax Def: An artisan is a skilled manual worker; a craftsperson. Here we see his tools represented by the artisan's ax stored in his toolbox. |
| Koohii Story 2 | We here have the axe-man who´s an artisan at making sculptures with his axe... The only thing is, he never shows anyone, keeping all his sculptures inside a box down in the basement. He doesn´t want any attention. |
