Koohii stories:

1) [fuaburisu] 11-10-2005(198): Imagine a white bird loosing a couple feathers as it is learning to fly. You learn a lesson as you watch it doing so, maybe you learn that “nothing comes for free” or that “one has to be prepared to loose in order to gain”…

2) [avparker] 18-12-2007(76): By the time you're old and all your feathers have turned white, you should have learned a thing or two.

3) [Howdoken] 12-1-2008(63): Learning is all about adding more feathers to your cap and the most prestigious of all is the beautiful pure white feather you'll receive when you have learned the kanji!

4) [LordGolem] 21-4-2008(25): Little birds with white feathers still have a lot to learn. When their plumage will be mature enough they'll be ready to fly away. To help not confusing it with study (#324 学), think birds don't need to study in order to learn.

5) [Istvan] 28-6-2007(23): I'm learning to fly…but I ain't got wings…..I just got two feathers….on top of some white thing….
