| Koohii Story 1 | A colleague implies someone that you share work with, such as in your company or profession, etc. Here your colleague helps you to erect your pup tent during a company outing. Note: Heisig's warning to keep this distinct from other similiar kanji such as companion (#19), friend (#704), consort (#1203) and comrade (#1637). That is why I chose to have the person element pictured as someone (the colleague in this case) helping with the work of building the pup tent. |
| Koohii Story 2 | Mr. T began working in a japanese compagny. As he sees that his colleague accept to do some extra work during the week-end and even sleep at the office, he says to them: "I pity da fool who work during week-end! You might as well install a pup tent in the office and forget about your home". |
