Meaning Mnemonic

A tree in spring that's nice and dry will make a good pole or rod. Break it out of the ground and it's just flexible enough for tons of applications.

Hints

Use this pole to hang your towels or curtains. Ooh, use it to pole vault!

Reading Mnemonic

After much deliberation, you decide to use this pole to go bowling (ぼう). You line up a few more poles for the pins, and roll a rock toward them.

Hints

You decide to name this super hard, pole bowling tree-pole-pin bowling. Even harder than candlepin. The thinnest, most extreme pole bowling of all time!
