吉兆

吉 = 口 + 士 : Mnemonic symbol: "Giga" stems from a Greek word for "giant", so I'll represent 吉 by a giant.

吉 = 口 + 士 : The giant just arrived at the space station and is very hungry. In each hand he holds Joan of Arc and the bachelor captive and robs them for their mandarins which he longs for.

兆 = 儿 + 丷 + 八 : Mnemonic symbol: a vulture, as the ancient Greek observed vultures and deducted omens from their behavior.

James II of England (zh) wants to know whether his coronation and his proposed eight-year plan is under a good omen (兆) and watches a vulture (兆) inside of the aorta's bathroom (ao4). In fact the vulture is ridden by Sun Wukong (儿) who is fighting a mean crocodile (丷) by throwing eight-balls (八) at it. The crocodile easily smashes the eight-balls with its large jaw. James II of England deduces that this is not a very good omen.
