| Koohii Story 1 | Stretching correctly prolongs life. Even the top part of 正 is stretching... |
| Koohii Story 2 | Here´s a great mnemonic: "stop, drop, and stretch (!?)." Now let´s associate it with ´prolong´: if you´re ever in an uncomfortable spot, like being asked tricky questions or caught in a lie, just PROLONG the situation - stop, drop, and stretch. They may be confused by your odd behaviour, but it´ll buy you a few moments to think up another good lie to get out of the sticky situation! |
