鯨 - Whale
A Fish swims up from the deep, bubbles rising as its fins shimmer-suddenly it breaks the surface and finds a tiny shining Capital tower floating on the sea like a toy castle. The Fish slips beneath, lifts the tower on its back, and crowns itself king of the ocean. From then on, every time you picture a giant Whale, see the fish body crowned with a capital roof-Whale = Fish + Capital.
