Mnemonic


[t-] Tarzan is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he works. Suddenly the ground breaks open as the sun emerges with 旦 daybreak, going through the ground, blinding Tarzan, and then bursting through the roof. Tarzan, still blinded, goes about 坦 levelling the 土 soil to repair the basement. He is pretty sure it is 坦 level now, but he is blind, so he can't be sure.
