Koohii stories:

1) [thecite] 3-10-2009(15): A scarecrow bemoans that it lacks legs.

2) [chibimizuno] 13-8-2009(13): (I use "kanji" for the scarecrow primitive.) I bemoan the huge number of kanji I must memorize, but I plod on despite my tired yawns.

3) [mantixen] 30-7-2009(13): Audrey II yawns, bemoaning being stuck in the flower shop with nothing to eat.

4) [taikura] 12-12-2008(4): Grief; bemoan; lamentation. The scarecrow is made from grass; and he has a big mouth and arms made of a stick. He lacks human characteristics. This is the source of his grief and lamentation; he bemoans his lack of humanity. When you feel like lamenting or bemoaning your fate; think of the poor scarecrow who lacks humanity, but wants it so desparately.

5) [kanjisensei] 22-10-2009(3): After the scarecrow lets out a long sigh (#1579 嘆), opens his mouth wider into a yawn, and now bemoans the fact that he still doesn't have a brain.
