Koohii stories:

3) [PepeSeco] 25-6-2006(48): In Spanish there is a saying which is useful to remember this kanji. It says: "A enemigo que huye, puente de plata," which translates literally as "To enemy that retreats, silver bridge," meaning one should not stay in the way of a retreating enemy. In the kanji we just replace the silver bridge by a silver road.
