Meaning: Week
A ghost is going down the water slide. The ghost goes down the water slide only one day of the week.
You have to imagine the ghost thinking… “oh, what day of the week is it?” then realizing it’s that special day of the week. At this point, he drags himself to the water slide where he has to go down it again. He’s been alive forever, so now he’s getting a bit tired of this weekly ritual.
Reading: しゅう
As the ghost goes down the water slide this week, he thinks everything is going fine, when suddenly his only shoe (しゅう) flies off and goes over the edge into the bushes under the slide. Ughh, how irritating!
Pretend that you’re the ghost – think of how irritating it would be to lose your only shoe while going down the water slide. This happens like every week, too!
