| Koohii Story 1 | You stand in AWE at the 8th WONDER of the world, a huge TROJAN HORSE. |
| Koohii Story 2 | This is another word for surprise. 驚く＝おどろく= surprise. The Trojans stood in awe of the magnificent Trojan Horse that they thought was a gift. But imagine their surprise (wonder) when a bunch of Greeks came rushing out of it! (To further cement the connection between the primitives, if needed: It´s a wonder that the Trojans managed to speak keigo 敬語 even then, saying "わたくしたちを殺さないでください!!お願い致します!!"). |
