Koohii stories:

1) [astridtops] 11-8-2006(87): Stop and sit down to listen to the tour guide's story. "These stones down there used to be a fort, but the enemy came and tore the place down. It has never been rebuild".

2) [enryu] 24-8-2009(22): (Grammar and story adjustment from astridtops story) You STOP AND SIT DOWN to listen to the tour guides story. "These STONES are remnants of what used to be a fort long ago, but the enemy came and tore the place down. It has never been rebuilt".

3) [delbertmon] 28-1-2010(3): In a European fortress you stop and sit down on stone floors. This is different from Japanese in which you would rest on the tatami floors.

4) [KristinHolly] 4-1-2009(3): This here rock right below us is all that remains of the mighty fort.

5) [Christoph] 11-3-2007(3): "You'll never get into this fort!!" the massive stones that surround it will stop you and force you to sit helplessly outside!
