Heisig story:

"Many moons ago," begins much of Amerindian folklore - a colorful way of saying "Once upon a time" and a great deal of help for remembering this kanji. Here we have two moons (three of them would take us back to the beginning of time, which is further than we want to go), lacking the final stroke because they are partially hidden behind the clouds of time.

Koohii stories:

1) [stereovibe] 13-2-2008(105): Two evenings too many!

2) [scottamus] 17-3-2006(46): This reminds me of a childish pseudo-confucion rhyme: "He who eats many prunes sits on toilet many moons".

3) [crystalcastlecreature] 3-6-2008(40): These look like the katakana "ta" therefore; There are MANY tatas! WOO~~~!

4) [pageturner1988] 18-12-2007(16): The ninja waited many evenings for the right moment to strike.

5) [FauxSho] 9-2-2013(13): Many moons ago.. or perhaps it was just a couple of evenings, I can't remember.
