| Koohii Story 1 | The Queen of England taking a walk round a village: ´Excuse me, I couldn´t help noticing the splendour of the flowers in your garden. Simply splendid. Ten out of ten.´ The villager gruffly replies: ´No it ´aint. It´s all muck. An´ I´m gonna cut it all down and sell it to the farmer for silage.´. |
| Koohii Story 2 | (I'm substituting greenhouse for silage. It is also full of all types of plants, and the shape resembles the windows that cover the building to let in the light.) See the splendor of the roses filling the greenhouse, beauty atop a stem of needles (thorns). |
