| Koohii Story 2 | A small 5 year old child has lost her mother in a tragic death. Her family tells her, "Don´t worry, your mom is an angel now, in heaven, watching over you." The small girl takes this very literally and is found one day, gathering pieces of wood. Her dad asks her, "What are you doing with that wood?" "I´m trying to build a bridge to heaven to visit the angels.". |
