Mnemonic


[di-] Diddy Kong is in [1] front of the [-_] house preparing for an incoming flood. He decides to build a 堤 dike. He gets a bunch of 土 soil and places it around the house until a 堤 dyke is formed. Then he gets a 正 pointer and carves a huge banana onto the soil to represent that it is Diddy Kong's 堤 dike. He sits on top of it looking at the 日 sun as the flood waters surround his 堤 dyke, but leave the house untouched.
