On-Yomi: カツ — Kun-Yomi: かわ.く

Elements:

thirst, water, water droplets, water pistol, mexican bandit, muchacho, siesta, sun, day, aroma, bound up, spoon, sitting on the ground

Primitive:

siesta(sjesta - midday nap) Conjure up the classic portrait of the Latin siesta: a muchacho sitting on the ground, propped up against some building, bound up from neck to ankles in a serape, one of those great, broadrimmed mariachi hats pulled down over his face, and the noonday sun beating down overhead. Always use the complete image, never simply the general sense of siesta. [8]

Heisig story:

As you pass by the muchacho taking the siesta, he cries out that he is thirsty and asks for something to drink. So you turn the water hose on him.

Koohii stories:

1) [wazzab] 10-3-2007(133): You awaken from your siesta because you feel extremely thirsty so you go looking for some water.

2) [onsen_monkey] 23-9-2006(72): The muchacho taking his SIESTA cries out that he is THIRSTY. So you pull out a bottle of WATER and pretend you're going to give it to him…but then you dump it all on the ground before his eyes. HAHA, sucked in muchacho!!

3) [Istvan] 13-6-2007(36): This whole series is easy to me if you picture Cheech as the man taking the Siesta. "He man, you gotta drinka water man? I am like so thirsty I could die man.".

4) [chibilchan] 1-9-2009(22): If anyone is having difficulty creating stories with the primitive siesta, try changing it to beggar - a beggar sits in his box begging for food/money under a hot sun. I have used beggar as a primitive in several frames and it works like a charm. Here a beggar develops a deep thirst for water as he crouches in his box under the hot sun.

5) [Bullwhip] 5-6-2008(18): Have some water before you take a siesta, or you will wake up thirsty!
