Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 31-10-2006(24): All the grain that was spilled under the tree looked like a mosaic, but someone took a grain rake and disposed of it.

2) [Meconium] 14-2-2010(12): Dad gave me a grain rake and told me to go and rake the grain, but since this is the most boring task in the whole world, I climbed a tree and played with my Rubik's cube instead.

3) [gavmck] 6-3-2010(2): The wood used in this grain rake has a unique mosaic grain pattern.

4) [decals] 21-11-2010(1): (Thanks Meconium) A monk who is sick of raking sand with his grain rake goes and hides in a tree and plays with a rubik's cube.

5) [Panta] 20-3-2013(): To me, raking grains/using a grain rake is about as tedious as solving a Rubik's cube. Wood is used because you can't expect a tool for such a menial task to be made of metal.
