| Koohii Story 1 | My car is so fast it can go through ten rice fields in ten minutes. | 
| Koohii Story 2 | Rather than hobbling along with a walking stick to cross through a span, it´s much better to use a car. (Imagine an old man with a walking stick creeping along a span of road, and you, in a car, whizzing right by him. It´s funny ´cause it´s true.) Also, it´s important to include the word "through," so you know the walking stick goes right THROUGH the span. |
