[qu-] Quasimodo is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is cleaning as part of his job. There is a 又 folding stool in the middle of the bathroom near the toilet, and Quasimodo 劝 advises his coworker, a 力 muscular arm, to not go on it because it is second-hand and rusty. However, the 力 muscular arm ignores his 劝 advice and goes on top. The 又 folding stool then collapses, sending the 力 muscular arm into the toilet. Quasimodo pulls the 力 muscular arm out of the toilet while saying "I 劝 advised you not to!" smugly.
