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.
