Mnemonic

A beggar lies sprawled on the ground so you give him some money. You feel bad for the beggar on the ground, so that’s why you decided to give him something.

Hints

See the beggar on the ground. He’s writhing in agony and moaning for help. Imagine how sad and pitiful he looks.

Mnemonic

When you set the money down next to the beggar he shouts, “No! I want a yo-yo (よ)!” so you go to the corner store and buy him a yo-yo with the money instead. You give the yo-yo to the beggar and he looks very happy.

Hints

Now watch as the beggar plays with the yo-yo you just gave him. He’s actually pretty good with it. See the beggar doing insane tricks with his new yo-yo as passersby give him change for his impressive yo-yo performance.
