Mnemonic
A cunning general carves his scheme into strips of bamboo, then nails them to an old tree in the forest where his spies gather at midnight. Each bamboo strip holds one step of the master plan. The old tree becomes the secret war room where every scheme takes shape.
Additional thoughts
Picture ancient bamboo scroll strips pinned to a gnarled, knotted old tree trunk—each strip detailing one step of a secret battle plan. Bamboo = the writing material, old tree = the clandestine meeting point. Together they form a scheme.Quick recall
