| Koohii Story 1 | "You are chasing the famous three blind mice and try to catch them by slamming a mortar on top of them. Success! You can see their three tails sticking out from under the mortar. In fact the impact has broken the first two tails, as you can see from the sharp angle they bend at, and the two drops (blood) on each. The third tail still curves nicely though, and hence has no drops of blood on it." |
| Koohii Story 2 | "A pictograph of an elaborate mouse-catching device. A hook on the front to grab them, a couple of alternating ploughs to slice them (spattered with drops of blood) and a mortar on top for the big jobs." |
