Mnemonic

We have a professional (the farmer) presiding over a bunch of freshly harvested grain plants put into storage under a roof without a chimney (because you don't need a chimney if you're going to only store grain in there), and in his right hand he's holding a weapon — a threshing tool that he'll use on those plants to produce grains.
