Haven

Mnemonic

When a tsunami comes, the brush makes a good safe haven. Thick brush is a haven from tsunamis because the brush will break the tsunami water and keep you safe and dry.

Hints

Imagine being in the haven of a brush while a tsunami strikes. Hear the water crash and rush all around you while you remain safe in your haven.

Mnemonic

The only downside about this haven is that there’s only room for two (つ) people in the brush. The brush isn’t big enough for more than two people, so unless you have a lot of brush, you won’t be saving many people from the tsunami.

Hints

Since there is room for two people in the brush, imagine yourself in the haven with one other person. They and you make two. The other person is a real whiner though - imagine them crying the whole time.
