[k-] Kermit the Frog is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop which he is 勘 surveying the number of empty 匚 boxes that are in the patchy pawn shop lawn that is full of litter. He goes around with a 力 muscular arm assistant that holds a giant 其 clothes hamper. Kermit picks up each littered 匚 box he comes across during his 勘 survey and throws it into the 其 clothes hamper so he can be sure how many there are. Kermit, who is an environmentalist, is quite angry at all the litter, deciding he will later 勘 survey all of the customers the go in and out of the pawn shop as to why they litter their 匚 boxes here!
