Meaning Mnemonic

Under the canopy, you use a tree for your floor. It also becomes your bed, because hey, what is a floor but the original bed?

Hints

You lay it down, cut it into slats, and voila! A floor! And a bed!

Reading Mnemonic

News of your amazing floor / bed spreads and reaches the Shougun (しょう), who wants to come see it. He's impressed, and asks you to build floor beds out of trees laying under this canopy in all of his buildings.

Hints

This new floor + bed invention, along with your other accomplishments, have you being watched really closely by the Shougun now. He seems to be keeping an eye on you so he can swoop down and check out everything you do.
