Meaning Mnemonic

Grains get blamed for how much they accumulate. If the grains accumulate too much then they make more work for the farmers. If they accumulate too little, then they're starving the people. Ugh, grains just can't win with you people. They're blamed for everything.

Hints

Picture a pile of grains accumulating in size while a person watches. No matter how large the pile gets, the person keeps blaming them for something!

Reading Mnemonic

Now the grains have accumulated a ton, they're overflowing in their grain sacks, and the farmer freezes and says, "Now those are some sexy (せき) grains."

Hints

Is that why people become farmers? Because they think... accumulating a lot of grains is sexy? People are weird.
