Meaning Mnemonic

The leader is standing funny, facing a direction nearby. He can't go far because there's obviously something wrong with his feet. He's stuck nearby, very close to your side.

Hints

Picture the leader very close to your side. He's looking off into the distance, a distance he'll never get to because all he can do is stand there with his messed up feet.

Reading Mnemonic

You decide to bring the leader to a nearby bowling (ぼう) alley. It's really close and you can stay right by his side as he throws bowling balls and gets his anger out.

Hints

Picture the leader bowling nearby. You keep him close by, you never know when he'll fall over and need your help.
