Heisig story:
Pinnacle . . . little . . . sun . . . little. Note that the form of the first element for little given here is the simpler form that has become standard in general-use characters (See Frame 110). For the time being, until typesetting fonts have made the adjustment, the official approved drawing has the drops similar to the bottom little.
Koohii stories:
1) [to_nihon] 11-1-2009(68): They won't let me in The Pinnacle, but I can see a little bit of sun through this little chink in the wall. Hmm, maybe I could make this chink bigger…
2) [steves] 3-10-2007(46): There was only one chink in his plan. Even standing atop the highest pinnacle, standing above even the sun, the little man was still just as little as when he was under the sun.
3) [ikmys] 5-6-2007(18): Man those little chinks can do anything! They were the first to build rockets, and by launching one off the top of the highest pinnacle in China, one little chink was the first to ride above the sun, and see all the little chinks below!
4) [Megaqwerty] 19-6-2007(4): In a wall at The Pinnacle, there must be a chink in the wall because I see some small rays of sunlight peepin' through, up there and down there.
5) [Peppi] 16-9-2009(3): Daedalus, a talented craftsman, attempted to escape from his exile, where he and his son Icarus were imprisoned. Daedalus fashioned two pairs of wings out of wax and feathers for himself and his son (you can see them flying in the sky, they are very small) However, Icarus did not listen to his father warning and flew too high - even above the sun! The wax melted and the wings got chinks. The end of this old story? Icarus crashed onto the pinnacles (small variation of the original story)…
