Mnemonic

Well, they formed this committee because eagles (い) have been eating all the grain. The women meet as a committee and try to come up with ways to stop these pesky eagles from eating all the grain and leaving none for the humans.

Hints

Imagine a committee of women standing together in a field of grain, watching eagles swooping around. They take notes and mutter to one another about their options.
