Make Money

Mnemonic

What might a leader say to someone to make little drops of sweat appear on their brow? "Go make money for me." When a leader entrusts someone with carrying out their latest money-making plan, that person's gonna feel a lot of pressure to succeed.

Hints

Imagine you're that someone: feel the drops of sweat rolling down your brow as your leader explains their money-making plan to you. It's a good plan — you just hope you can carry it out properly and bring back some money for your leader!

(Note that the drop radical can be dropped sometimes — that is, it's fairly common for it to be omitted in handwriting or in certain fonts.)

Mnemonic

So, what's your leader's grand plan to make money? Having you mow (もう) lawns, of course. Few money-making schemes are more tried-and-true than the ol' "mow your neighbor's lawn for twenty bucks" approach. Grass grows back forever, so it's basically nature's cash cow — moooow, get it?

Hints

You do a great job and pretty soon you're mowing lawns all over town, raking in profits hand over fist. Before you know it, you've built a full-blown money-making mow-nopoly, and your leader couldn't be prouder. Guess you didn't need to be so nervous about succeeding after all, huh?
