Shibe means “core”,”stem”, “center” or “haulm.” So warashibe means a stem of straw.
I have never used or heard people using the word “warashibe” other than this WARASHIBE CHOUJA story.

さて、ペーパー・クリップの話はすごいですようよ。
一年間でカナダにある家をもらって、この人は本当に運がいいですね。
この話を聞いたら、私はこれをやってみたいような気がしたが、実は寒いところはあまり好きじゃないのでカナダの家は「ダメ」と決めた。
その上、赤いペーパー・クリップを持っていない…

Funny enough that I only just heard of the mentioning of this story two weeks ago in anime 彩雲国物語(Saiunkoku Monogatari)。It's good when things are connedted ^_^. Just hope that after a few monthes when I come back to this lesson, I could undertand most of it. Think I heard about that 26-year old Canadian man who traded a paper clip to a house. He did his transactions online, after 14 transactions and a year's time, he finally got this 2-storey farmhouse landed in his hands. I'm sure if you google "paper clip to house", you'll find more details. Enjoy! お疲れ様でした。 皆さん、こんにちは
