Meaning Mnemonic

You have water already... and it's pretty cold. All it takes is one cold drop of liquid nitrogen added to it to turn it into one big block of ice, just like that.

Hints

Go ahead and touch it... wow, it's really cold - and only from one drop, too. Feel the burn on your finger from where you touched the ice.

Reading Mnemonic

When you think of ice, I want you to think of someone frozen with ice. Do you know anyone named Corey (こおり)? Anyone famous named Corey, perhaps Corey Feldman? Imagine this Corey person frozen solid with ice.

Hints

How did this happen? Was it your fault? Imagine the situation that would get Corey frozen like this.
