Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop, where a 千 thousand pennies were accidentally dropped on the ground. He runs around with his mouth open sucking in all the pennies like a vacuum cleaner, so that he can later use them to buy something at the shop. Imagine a little counter above his head that slowly goes up to one 千 thousand counting all the pennies he picked up thus far.
