| Koohii Story 1 | Little is it known that a rainbow is actually created by insects of different colours flying in formation, a craft they have perfected to create the rainbows we see today. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Rainbow is of course created by billions of colored insects (what? you really thought it was an optical illusion?). However I had problems remembering that the insect primitive goes on the left. If you have similar difficulties, try this: rainbow is an Insect-Craft. Mnemonic: I.C. Rainbow (I see rainbow). |
