Heisig story:

If you want to bind up drops of anything - water, soup, lemonade - you use something to scoop these drops up, which is what we call a ladle. See the last drop left inside the ladle?

Koohii stories:

1) [Christine_Tham] 22-7-2007(147): A ladle binds drops together.

2) [bspeaks] 21-3-2007(54): Forget about the primative 'bound up'. Imagine instead the shape of a ladle and holding it upside down to drink the last DROP (of water).

3) [Robatsu] 15-1-2009(28): The last drop stays bound to the LADLE.

4) [Bokeaji] 10-10-2008(11): I'm bound and determined to get that last drop with this ladle!

5) [dihutenosa] 28-8-2007(7): A ladle holding a tiny fart.
