Heisig story:

Tall children receive more attention. Tall children grow up to make better wide receivers. Take your pick, depending on whether you prefer child psychology or American football. At any rate, be sure you have some particular tall child in mind, someone who really was outstanding and always attracting attention, because he or she will come in handy in the next two frames.

Koohii stories:

1) [Ramchip] 22-1-2007(138): In basketball however, tall children receive all the attention.

2) [Danieru] 30-11-2007(87): Tall children receive all the attention. They also make great receivers in football… this kanji also means 'catch' (therefore a football receiver is a great image).

3) [Dragonslayer131] 19-11-2009(31): Kinda weird but I remember the weird ones best: A giant MOUTH wearing a TOPHAT RECEIVES its next victim to munch on. This time its a small CHILD whimpering under the figure on the floor, scared of what is to come.

4) [Chaze] 11-5-2010(21): A word of warning: With Heisig's story I keep associating this with "attention"! I use something closer tied to the word receive: Imagine a bunch of kids finding an old radio. It's antenna is broken, so the tallest kid has to hold it up, and becomes the designated receiver.

5) [cefreddffo] 15-10-2009(13): Usually in yaoi couples the short guy is the one who "receives". But here we see how the tall boy is receiving and he enjoys it ( 享楽する ）. RTK2:　キョウ 享楽主義 きょうらくしゅぎ(hedonism).
