Meaning Mnemonic

Everyone from your clan puts their fingers in the ground as a way to resist their lords. Your clan is made of a bunch of peasants, but you aren't going to work the land for other people anymore. You're going to resist. This is a protest! Your fingers work for no one but yourselves from now on!

Hints

Imagine your entire clan putting their fingers in the ground in unison as a form of resistance. It's a moving sight.

Reading Mnemonic

You're all resisting with your fingers in the ground, when the lords appear, angry. "You resist us by hiding your fingers with potatoes in the ground?! You want your fingers to be useless potatoes so badly? We'll chop them up and turn them into tater (てい) tots!"

Hints

You make your choice to resist. He orders his guards to pull your fingers out of the ground, chop them into the size of tater tots, and then deep fry them. After they're done, the lord pops one in his mouth and says, "Oooh, resistance is delicious."
