Mnemonic

A gold Wolverine swam in the water while his father made a record of it. Wolverine is gold in color because he just won the gold medal in swimming, so now he is gold. Way to go, Wolverine.

Hints

See this gold Wolverine holding his gold medal after getting out of the water. His dad doesn’t want to forget anything about this precious moment so he makes a record of it. Imagine him scribbling furiously in his notebook.

Mnemonic

Since Wolverine is actually a mutant, he is soon disqualified from his gold medal. His father makes a record of this also. One angry fan threw a rock (ろく) at Wolverine afterwards. Then another threw a rock. And another rock. Before you knew it, everyone was throwing rocks at Wolverine. Wolverine’s dad didn’t step in to help though, he just kept keeping records.

Hints

Imagine a pitiful Wolverine crying on the ground as each rock hits him. All he wanted was some recognition from his father. Poor guy. Imagine poor Wolverine like this as his dad just looks on and writes in his notebook.
