Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he is at the top of a second-hand 厂 cliff in the corner. Beneath him is a rabid 犬 bulldog that 厌 detests green dinosaurs like Yoshi, barking at him incessantly. Some employees are trying to get the bulldog to calm down by giving it second-hand dog toys, but the 犬 bulldog 厌 detests everything. Yoshi rightfully 厌 detests 犬 bulldogs as they all seem 厌 to detest him.
