Heisig story:

The final stage of the seed is reached when the plant has reached its full growth (the tree) and comes to fruition, producing fruit full of new seeds that can return to the earth and start the process all over again. The main thing to notice here is the element for brains at the top, which might prove more helpful than rice field for creating an image. The writing, however, follows the order of a sun with a tree whose trunk runs through the sun.

Koohii stories:

1) [vionnacrowe] 11-3-2007(259): If only Eve had used her brains and not taken the forbidden fruit from the tree.

2) [mspertus] 24-7-2006(55): There really are brain fruit trees. See http://www.dpchallenge.com/image.php?IMAGE_ID=108312. Enough said.

3) [Raichu] 14-1-2006(36): Just a pictogram of a cluster of fruit on a tree.

4) [taikura] 17-1-2009(9): Fruit is like a productive rice field that grows on top of a tree. 悪因悪果 (sewing & reaping evil). 悪果 (bad results). 無花果果 (fig). 因果 (cause & effect). 規模効果 (economies of scale).

5) [Johnnyltn] 20-8-2006(9): Instead of brains use rice field and we see a bunch of fruit trees growing about the perimeter of a rice field.
