Koohii Story 1 Dragon Quest - You find a hardened bamboo stick, perfect for a weapon, but you can´t pick it up because your items are full.
Koohii Story 2 You´ve entered in a chinese shop where apparently the only item in sale is old, dusty, hardened bamboo (for construction for example). It looks like these items have been there forever. Asking the clerk if anything else is available, he doesn´t understand and instead asks - "Two items? Three items?" (the kanji is a counter for items) - thinking you want to buy something.
