Koohii Story 1 FOUR year-olds often put their FOOT (human legs) in their MOUTH - but they are too young to realize.
Koohii Story 2 I imagine a giant devouring a human in four bites. First the giant bites off the person´s head, then he bites the torso, then from the waist to the knees, and finally the giant plucks up the remaining portion of the human legs into his mouth. See the fourth bite falling in there?
