Heisig story:

English counts thin, flat objects, like bed linen and paper, in sheets. The kanji does this with a taskmaster whipping a tree into producing sheets against its will.

Koohii stories:

1) [applesuki] 14-12-2006(142): The taskmaster is a strict bathroom monitor who hands out only one sheet of really rough, splintery toilet paper per person. You can see the wood fibers.

2) [Danieru] 6-12-2007(60): This taskmaster is the bathroom nazi: he counts how many sheets of toilet paper and tissue you use, and then tells you what % of a tree you just killed.

3) [tomtosh] 14-10-2007(53): The mean taskmaster declared, "You sheet on my tree, I keel you.".

4) [Wahlin] 13-9-2006(40): The taskmaster whips sheets of paper off the tree.

5) [koohiikun] 16-7-2008(24): The poor trees are processed by the taskmasters of industry into sheets of paper.
