Koohii Story 1 The fat king under his umbrella offers useless advice to the workers. "You´ll need the whole tree to plug that gap". Imagine a grossly fat, incompetent king under a parasol giving annoying advice to sweating workers who know what they´re doing. (I always have trouble bringing up the "whole" primitive. This story reminds me how to build that part. ).
Koohii Story 2 To plug the hole, you need to use a whole piece of wood - like a cork or something.
