Koohii stories:

1) [synewave] 7-10-2006(184): Mnemonic: Bundle of joy. Here I see the proverbial stork with a baby hanging from its mouth fly straight into a tree. Painful, but he doesn't drop the bundle.

2) [raulir] 13-12-2006(126): Unlike in 杏 , this big mouth isn't content to wait for apricots to fall in his mouth, so he has climbed the tree and is taking them in bundles.

3) [mantixen] 9-7-2009(46): A bundle of some kind has been stuffed into the opening of a tree.

4) [Immacolata] 24-4-2006(18): This is an image of the monster Gojira (AKA Godzilla) that is so mad it has eaten all the trees. So a bundle of trees sticks out of Gojiras mouth as it rampages through Tokyo.

5) [epangelia2k2] 10-6-2008(12): Tip: I was looking for a personification for bundle man [+fab] and came across this evocative story from the archives (1889) http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9901E5D9163BE033A25755C2A9659C94689FD7CF Caution: the famous vagrant is known as Leather Man so don't confuse with leather (#1893 革). But in the end I couldn't resist both because of the interesting story and the fact one of the possessions found in his mysterious sack (bundle) was an awl as used in subsequent frames 1671-1674!
