Mnemonic

"Yes! I will instruct you, my dear students!" you cry, "I will instruct you on how to open a small juice (じゅ) box!" That's right. These little kids need help learning how to open small juice boxes (small because kids are small).

Hints

Picture yourself instructing little kids how to punch the straw into small juice boxes. Hold it right-side-up! Don't squeeze too hard! Don't punch it through the other side! No! Don't bite the box! Instructing is hard!
