空

Sky

Meaning: Sky

You’re doing some construction under your legs, and you’re even wearing a helmet on top of that. Why do you need to build something under you and put something on top of you? You want to be able to reach the sky.

So that explains why you’re doing so many things to make yourself taller… too bad the sky is really high. Imagine what you’d need to construct / wear to get up that high.

Reading: くう

To remember the reading くう we’ll use the word “cooties.” – You finally make yourself taller. But one you reach the sky, you find it’s full of nasty cooties (くう) that knock you over and make you fall down.

You’ll have to come up with something interesting for cooties in terms of what they look like. Are they like small bugs to you? Millions of small bugs running into you while you’re up in the sky, knocking you down?
