Solemn

Mnemonic

A wolverine that sticks its legs in rice will become very solemn, very fast. This is weird to you because wolverines always seem so happy. Well his dad died from his legs getting stuck in rice, so just leave the poor solemn creature alone.

Hints

Imagine if your dad died from getting his legs stuck in some rice, now feel solemn too.
