Meaning Mnemonic

A tsunami is coming, and you want to walk over it, so you have to ford it. Think about it – you ford a river, you ford anything that’s water, unless you’re Jesus – you’re not Jesus. You don’t walk across a tsunami, you ford it.

Hints

Imaging taking your shoes off, hiking up your pants, and holding all of your things above your head as you ford across the tsunami.

Reading Mnemonic

Your ability to ford this tsunami impresses everyone who witnesses it, especially the Shougun (しょう). Now that you've taught him a tsunami can be forded, he's going to start sending his troops through them instead of waiting for them to pass.

Hints

Your new fording techniques have increased the Shougun's military power! Congrats, I guess.
