Radical Combination


Meaning

Glassy

Mnemonic

The king wants you to make a rocket that looks glassy. It won't be very stable, and it probably won't work, but making it glassy and pretty is the only way to make the king approve.

Imagine a king who won't accept a rocket that isn't made of glassy material. He's not very smart...

Mnemonic

You take the glassy rocket and try to stuff some thin reeds (り) inside to support it. But because it's clear and glassy the king sees them at the last second.

Picture the king admiring himself in the glassy surface and then his face contorts. He smashes his fist through the rocket and rips out the reeds. "REEDS AREN'T GLASSY!" he cries, and starts hitting you with them.
