Koohii stories:

1) [dingomick] 11-9-2007(261): Even though it's a maddening task, the monks stay solemn as they rake rice between the fenceposts.

2) [cangy] 7-4-2008(169): Note: This is not sieve as it has a full rice and not rice grains and the hook is missing from rake. Also the given stroke order is incorrect (fenceposts should come last).

3) [LazyNomad] 27-6-2009(42): This is a zen rice garden. It is different from rock garden in only one aspect. Here you see raked white rice between the fenceposts. In solemn silence the monks rake rice every morning.

4) [johnzep] 10-8-2007(33): I tie CONDI RICE in between two FENCEPOSTS and prepare for the SOLEMN task ahead….beating her over the head with a RAKE.

5) [plumage] 7-4-2009(22): The RICE thrown at the wedding must be RAKED up before the SOLEMN funeral procession enters between the FENCE POSTS.
