Koohii stories:

1) [raulir] 9-4-2007(122): Magic wand + first two strokes of pelt ( 皮 ) + diced + human legs. A wizard who turns people he doesn't like into newts with his magic wand goes for variety - he has always wanted a tiger pelt - but things go awry when the tiger promptly dices and eats him, leaving only a pair of legs. (a fitting end for a wicked wizard).

2) [CharleyGarrett] 23-4-2007(107): Tigger, the tiger, (from Pooh stories) is happy to have found a magic wand. Using it he can bounce up to a the top of a cliff, seven times as high as some human legs could bounce. Tigger thinks "Its great to be a tiger!

3) [Filip] 10-3-2008(50): The 7 very smart magicians were standing on top of a cliff. The 7 very smart magicians wanted to create a tiger. The smart tiger ate 6 and a half magicians, leaving a pair of human legs as a snack for later. The smart tiger hang the pair of human legs on a tiny hook, so that no other predator could reach it. Moral of the story: tiger wins.

4) [uberclimber] 18-12-2010(16): This kanji is symbolic of the tiger Hobbes: he's sort of magical, a toy come to life, hence the magic wand; he and Calvin are always riding their go-cart off the kicker (hence the little hook) at the edge of the cliff; Hobbes and Calvin are both about seven years old; and Hobbes often walks and stands as though he has human legs. 虎 (とら) : tiger.

5) [mezbup] 10-7-2009(10): The magic wand on top of the cliff spawned 7 tigers that ate human legs.
