While contemplating Ralphie's bellybutton, I focused on Ikoba's "ABOUT US" page:
"In the mountains near a certain village, grow trees that bear chestnuts, which are called ?Kobo? chestnuts. These trees bear fruit very young, even when they are only 3 feet high.
Hundreds of years ago, there was a big chestnut tree on this same pass. Some were able to climb it to pick its chestnuts, but many could not. One day a traveling priest passed by, and saw those saddened by the inability to reach into the big tree. The priest said, "You shall be able to pick the chestnuts from next year on."
