Mnemonic

What's the best use for a melon? Not eating it, but running over it in your car (か)! Melons make a nice big splat sound when you drive over them, and that's what you plan to do to every melon you see.

Imagine hitting the gas pedal in your car as you head for a big melon. Watch it burst into a million pieces as your car makes contact, hurling melon bits all over your windshield. It's a melon firework!
