Mnemonic

A really thin person is not going to be very strong physically, so when covering long distances he'll have to rest quite frequenty. And what's the best place to rest when you're out in the nature? Well, it's by a nearby tree! Not only it shields you from the bad weather, but you can also lean on it to recover strength.
