Koohii Story 1 You decide to go salmon fishing, so you ride a mountain goat to the top of the road. Under the light of the moon, as it's illegal, you catch the salmon going upstream.
Koohii Story 2 In this kanji we see a mountain goat that decided to go upstream along a road, but for some reason it will only go upstream when the full moon is up. It's actually stubborn like a mountain goat about not going upstream along the road at any other period of time. The road itself is also very confused about this.
