Advance

Mnemonic

You give your scooter to a turkey so that it can advance. The turkey was trying and failing to walk through a crowded street, so out of the goodness of your heart you gave it a scooter so it could advance.

Imagine picking up the turkey and putting it on your scooter. Of course, you give it your helmet as well, safety first.

Mnemonic

You wave as the turkey advances into the street at top speeds, collides with a car, and scrapes up its shins (しん) almost immediately. Ah!

Silly turkey, you can't advance that fast, of course you'll hurt your shins. It's better to advance slowly, but I guess I couldn't expect you to know that.
