Do you remember evil Mrs. Cho? The one who likes dropping nails on streets in towns? She’s going to make a reappearance now. – You’re looking at some pretty birds. Think of the prettiest bird you can think of. Enjoy this moment, because Mrs. Cho (ちょう) suddenly walks in, grabs your favorite bird, breaks its neck, then puts it in a bag to take home for supper.
Of course, feel the shock of this experience. You can’t do anything because you can’t believe what just happened. Zero in on Mrs. Cho (she’s the important part, really) and think about how much you hate her. She’s going to eat your favorite bird! Go ahead and yell out Darth-Vader style “CHOOOOOOOOOOOO!” if you want to really remember this.
