| Koohii Story 1 | Penal servitude is served until indications show that one has had a change of heart (learned one´s lesson). Easily confused with punish (#679) and penalty (#833). Concentrate on the reasons behind the penal system ("changing people´s hearts" here), instead of the penalty itself or the punishment (revenge) aspect. It may help to note that there´s no sword, but a heart :-) (Note: 懲りる = learn from one´s bad experiences). |
| Koohii Story 2 | Judge: You will serve a penal sentence until indications show you have a heart. |
