Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-a] auditorium on a bathroom break from the play. He is dressed as a 厦 tall building, the only role he could land in the play, owing to his smelly ogre appearance. Also, it doesn't seem like Shrek understands what a 厦 tall building is, as his homemade costume is just an unconscious 攵 foreman strapped onto his 自 nose, making it difficult to do anything including washing his hands. He cannot see the 一 ground with this costume, nor the 厂 cliff ahead that the bathroom is situated upon, so he blindly walks forward. Luckily there was a plank jutting out from the 厂 cliff that leads to the next door 厦 tall building!
