Mnemonic
A postman climbs a mountain to deliver a tiny parcel. He rests on a stool at the summit, where a ninja materializes and whispers: handle it gently—inside is the most delicate origami flower ever folded, so fine it could dissolve in a single breath.
Additional thoughts
Picture the postman's trembling hands on the stool, the ninja hovering protectively, the impossibly thin paper flower quivering atop the mountain in razor-thin air. The altitude reinforces how fragile and subtle the package truly is.Quick recall
