Heisig story:

On the right we see the moon fading off into the first light of morning, and to the left, the mist that falls to give nature a shower to prepare it for the coming heat. If you can think of the moon tilting over to spill mist on your garden, you should have no trouble remembering which of all the elements in this story are to serve as primitives for constructing the character.

Koohii stories:

1) [Rinifett] 25-9-2007(186): There is mist as the moon fades away in the morning.

2) [Yasser] 19-10-2008(96): Morning has come "ten" hours "early"!!! The "moon" is still in the sky!

3) [Sanachan] 9-1-2008(48): In the morning, god picks the sun up to the sky with two needles (because it's too hot to touch by hands) to replace the moon.

4) [Tsuki11] 29-10-2007(31): The morning mist is the moon's parting tears–sprinkling ten early flowers with dew when she leaves the sky each day.

5) [sprutnik] 28-9-2008(25): In the morning the mist and moon fades away.
