On-Yomi: キョウ — Kun-Yomi: はし

Koohii stories:

1) [PepeSeco] 27-7-2006(130): The nicest bridge is not in Hollywood or Los Angeles, but in San Francisco.

2) [sutebun] 30-10-2007(93): A small 5 year old child has lost her mother in a tragic death. Her family tells her, "Don't worry, your mom is an angel now, in heaven, watching over you." The small girl takes this very literally and is found one day, gathering pieces of wood. Her dad asks her, "What are you doing with that wood?" "I'm trying to build a bridge to heaven to visit the angels.".

3) [matt_jenkins] 23-3-2008(52): BRIDGE makes me remember a tacky religious icon of my youth, showing a guardian angel guiding two bonny children over a dangerously tatty wooden BRIDGE; by pure chance (ahem) I found the picture online, see http://www.sacredtreasures.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/Guardian_angel_on_the_Bridge.199121024_std.jpg 'Angel', incidentally, means 'messenger', hence two mouths - one who gave the message above, the other who delivered it here below.

4) [SammyB] 28-7-2008(45): The wooden bridge is guarded by an impressively tall angel.

5) [noname] 16-6-2008(23): ANGEL primitive: On the bottom there is a HOODED MOUTH, which you can think of as a NUN; and shes praying to an ANGEL, which is the HEAVENLY MOUTH above.
