Mnemonic

You’re walking through the trees, looking at them. They look ominous. Suddenly, you trip and fall. The trees start to mock (もく) you. Even the mocking birds mock you. It’s terrible. It’s painful. You’re being mocked as you pull yourself up off the ground.

Hints

Feel the shame, feel the irritation. Make yourself want to run away from those dumb trees that are mocking you.
