Koohii Story 1 The venerable old man is the public figure head of the Native American Village, answering all questions and solving all problems. The higher in rank you get in this tribe, the more feathers decorate you. Imagine this old man covered in beautiful feathers.
Koohii Story 2 The venerable old man is using the public restroom in the park where he feeds the pigeons. But, alas, there is no toilet paper! So, he´s caught a pigeon and is using it to wipe his bottom. (note the feathers on the bottom of the kanji, this helps remember placement). Can you see the feathers flying everywhere?
