persimmon, tree, wood, market, top hat, towel

Heisig story:

Imagine a village market with stalls set up around an immense persimmon tree with watermelon-sized fruit. If it weren't for the fact that the tree is sacred to the village, people would get impatient as the persimmons fall from the tree and wreak havoc on buyers and sellers alike.

Koohii stories:

1) [Katsuo] 2-4-2009(75): Nobody buys persimmons at the market, because there's a tree in the middle where you can pick them for free.

2) [synewave] 19-2-2007(18): Persimmon = かき - they grow on trees and are sold at the market.

3) [Megaqwerty] 20-6-2007(11): The guy at the market says: I'll give you one persimmon tree per every Simon you bring me!

4) [mantixen] 15-2-2007(6): The tree growing in the market bears persimmons.

5) [drkdve] 24-5-2011(5): The official TREE of the MARKET is the PERSIMMON. (because somehow the vendors believe it keeps shoppers from being "persimmonious".).
