Mnemonic

The reason this fierce animal is eating the child from the plate is because the child forgot to mow (もう) the animal’s lawn. The fierce animal had hired the child to mow his lawn today, and when the child forgot to do it, the fierce animal hunted the child down and ate him.

Hints

That child really shouldn’t have forgotten to mow the lawn. Imagine you are the child, being eaten by the fierce animal and wishing that you would have just mowed the lawn like you said you would.
