Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house, where he 嗜 hankers for an elder. He finds an elder and puts him in the bathtub with a blazing-hot 日 sun, drying him out. He then takes a 匕 spoon and carves out a piece to subdue his 嗜 hankering, putting the scoop of elder into his 口 mouth with relish. What did you expect? He is an ogre, after all.
