Koohii stories:

1) [Raichu] 29-3-2007(102): In Sydney we occasionally get exotic birds. You first notice a colouring in a tree. You look more carefully and you make out the shape of a bird (here represented by its claws).

2) [ayoung24] 18-12-2006(77): Mystique the shape-shifter changes the coloring of her skin to camouflage tones and perches herself in a tree like a vulture waiting for her pray.

3) [Codexus] 25-1-2008(75): warning: There is a mistake in the 4th edition, that's not a fledgling primitive on the left. It should be obvious but somehow I didn't notice it when I learned that one yesterday. v__v.

4) [Nuriko] 14-4-2008(51): A little kid about age 3 is coloring something that his teacher can't quite make out. It's just kind of a blob… an unknown shape. She asks, "What's that?" Of course, the child expects the teacher to know what it is and is offended that she didn't recognize what the shape/blob was. "Don't you see it's a vulture in a tree!?" Obviously very upset by this, the child's next drawing is of the vulture flying down from the tree and pecking the teacher to death.

5) [meolox] 23-11-2009(45): When coloring something in you grab the crayon of choice to fill in the shapes.
