Meaning Mnemonic

The mouth of a tree leader is all about trying to preserve the trees. In fact, he guarantees that he will preserve the trees if it's the last thing he does.

Hints

Basically, a tree leader is someone who stands up for trees. Mostly he talks, but that can be a powerful skill to have.

Reading Mnemonic

He chains himself to a tree to preserve them. But, unfortunately, the lumberjacks just take a giant back hoe (ほ) and tear this tree leader and the tree he's attached to in half.

Hints

What a terrible scene. Focus on the fact that they're using a horrible, modified back hoe. It's more like a weapon than a back hoe, and they show no mercy at all.
