Banquet

Mnemonic

Under a roof, but still in the sun, a woman is laying out a fabulous banquet. The woman doesn't want anyone to burn from the sun, but banquets are best outside, so she's set up a roof to protect her and her guests.

Picture a large banquet of food on a sunny day, covered by an outdoor roof, and a woman carefully setting it all up.

Mnemonic

Unfortunately, the banquet roof comes crashing down right before the guests arrive, and it ends (えん) before it can start.

Honestly though, have you ever been to a banquet that ended well? Something always goes wrong when you have that many people under one roof.
