Mnemonic

Mnemonic

You're currently hunting in a row (りょう) boat and you have to row as quietly and carefully as you can or the animal will run away.

Hints

You wouldn't be able to go hunting in any other kind of boat—the motor would be too loud. Picture yourself in a row boat with all of your hunting gear. You need to be extra careful not to make any loud splashing sounds with the oars!
