Koohii stories:

1) [rptb1] 11-11-2005(285): One sneaky farmer wanted to amass a large collection of livestock. We all know that cows like to eat flowers, so he planted lines of flowers leading to his own fields. The livestock followed the lines, eating the flowers one by one, and amassed in his field.

2) [CharleyGarrett] 17-12-2006(28): It may seem illogical, but the fact is, you need to plant flowers if your aim is to amass livestock.

3) [eri401] 31-5-2011(21): To keep the difference between amass and gather (#559 集) and accumulate (#1364 累), I emphasize the MASS. To amass MASSIVE livestock, always feed them flowers. They'll get nice and plump. 蓄え = たくわえ = store; reserve; stock; savings.

4) [samuize] 29-2-2008(18): Farmers in Japan grow flowers in the summer and rear livestock in the winter, in this way they amass a fortune.

5) [kanji_nightmare] 12-9-2008(12): I amassed so many flowers from my many boyfriends, I had to feed them to my livestock to get rid of them.
