Meaning Mnemonic

The fins that fell onto my sword were sliced into two parts.

Hints

The logic of this story makes a lot of sense - even in the kanji itself the fins are falling onto the sword from above. What happens to things that fall onto swords? They become more than one part.

Reading Mnemonic

Now that you've cut the fish, it's time to cut something else into parts. Next on your list is the buns (ぶん) which need to be split up amongst the people. If you'd like to learn the second reading, just think about how fun (ふん) it will be to do this task.

Hints

Think about the buns (ぶん) as absolutely delicious things you want to eat really bad. If you want to eat the buns, and you taste the buns in your imagination, you'll surely remember that the reading for this kanji is ふん as well.
