Koohii stories:

1) [Nukemarine] 5-9-2007(205): In AUTUMN, the farmer's HEART is in DISTRESS as to if he has enough crops. Even better, the farmer will experience great DISTRESS in his HEART if his WHEAT catches FIRE!

2) [fuaburisu] 28-4-2006(112): Here we have distressed (think "gloomy") people with "seasonal mood disorder" during the autumn season. Hence "autumn heart" is distressed (gloomy).

3) [timcampbell] 18-12-2007(55): The HEART becomes distressed in the AUTUMN when summer loves end.

4) [Shibo] 16-5-2008(29): The damsel in distress was tied to a big stalk of wheat in the middle of a field.. The evil, dastardly villain then set the field on fire! Can our hero get to her in time, saving her life and winning her heart?? Tune in next week!

5) [Jaunty] 12-6-2009(20): I have to imagine a "damsel in distress" to avoid confusing this with similar keywords. Think of Rapunzel sitting in her tower staring out at the autumn scenery, her heart aching.
