Meaning Mnemonic

When a spirit decides to live in your scarecrow, you'll be granted good luck and good fortune. Crows won't hang out in your farm. Everything you grow will become large and delicious. But not everyone is so lucky that a spirit will decide to live in their scarecrow. So maybe the luck was in you all along!

Hints

Nope, the luck is definitely coming from the spirit in your scarecrow. You aren't lucky on your own.

Reading Mnemonic

You want to check the scarecrow to make sure your recent luck is coming from it, so you kick it. "F*** (ふく) you!" it yells. Oh yeah, there's a spirit in there.

Hints

If you get a luck spirit to say f*** you, you might accidentally convince it to move somewhere else. If it does, you lose your luck. So be careful.
