Meaning Mnemonic

A tsunami runs into nine trees and produces a dye the color of the forest. The tsunami water mixes with each tree, nine of them actually, and the resulting liquid is a forest green dye.

Hints

Imagine this happening in front of you. See the tsunami turn from the color of water to the color of a forest. The dye washes over you and now you’re forest green as well.

Reading Mnemonic

The dye continues to pass through the forest and hits a group of centaurs (せん). Now each centaur is dyed with the forest green dye. They don’t look happy.

Hints

Hear each centaur shouting about how he hates that dye for changing his color. They look kind of funny, so you laugh at them a bit, but not too loud – they might hear you and get even more angry.
