Keyword property
Koohii Story 1 If you´re a money genius, you can afford a lot of property.
Koohii Story 2 The keyword refers to property in the sense of money or funds rather than of buildings or real estate. Keep this one distinct from frame 193 (“wealth”) and frame 473 (“assets”). Here we have a genie, gulping down oysters. Someone tries to grab an oyster and the genie puts his big arms around his oysters and states his “right of ownership” : “They´re mines, my property!”.
