Climb

Mnemonic

You're in a tent eating beans because you're trying to climb a mountain! When you climb, you sleep in a tent and eat only beans (the ultimate climbing food).

Hints

Imagine climbing slowly and carefully up a cliff on the side of this mountain. Your tent and your beans are tied to your back, and you're letting out little farts with each step from all the beans you've been consuming.

Mnemonic

You climb and climb and climb until you finally reach... とうきょう! At the top of this mountain you've been climbing you can see all of とうきょう. It's beautiful! It's breathtaking! All your climbing makes this view of とうきょう even more worthwhile!

Hints

Oh, what was the name of the とうきょう mountain you just worked so hard to climb? Mount Takao. (You should go climb it with your real body and see とうきょう with your real eyes sometime!)
