Koohii Story 1 "[+woelpad] In a certain culture, there is a ritual carried out when a girl is quite young (young enough, in fact, that they do it before they are considered a woman in that culture - for the same reason that some cultures do not name a baby until they are sure it will live) - she must go on a vision quest for a lotus flower and look inside it to see the face of her husband - then report back.. Imagine a poor flower girl's dismay when she looks into the lotus flower and sees the face of Homer Simpson!."
Koohii Story 2 There's a popular myth amongst flower girls that the face of their future husband is hidden inside a lotus flower.
