Mnemonic
The fool (呆) wants to make fun of Don Quixote (d) in front of the airplane (ai1). To fool him, he set up a Christmas tree (木) to look like a huge animal by putting a mandarin (口) on top which looks like the head of the animal. Don Quixote thinks he met his arch enemy and starts to charge the construction, much to the fool's delight.
