Rice Plant

Mnemonic

The grain stuck in your cleat had a former life. In that life it was a rice plant. It was a happy little rice plant, minding its own business, when it was yanked up and cleaned up and put in a bag for people to buy and cook and eat. That was so long ago. Now it's just a sad grain in the bottom of your shoe.
