Tail


Radical Combination


Meaning

Tail

Mnemonic

You see a flag stuck in the ground with a little bit of fur coming out from it and on closer inspection you realize it’s actually a tail. Someone stuck a flag into some sort of animal, pushing it under the ground. All that’s visible now is some fur and part of the tail.

What kind of animal could it be? You start to feel the soft fur with your hand and then the stench of death hits your nostrils. Ew.

Mnemonic

You try to pull the flag out of the ground and hear a rumbling buzzing sound. At the end of the flagpole you see a huge beehive (び)! These bees made their home under the tail! Maybe that’s why the flag was sticking in it… to warn people. Oops.

See the bees swarming out from around the tail and toward your face. Run! Run before there’s nothing left of you but your own tail!
