Mnemonic


[du-] Dumbledore is [2] inside the lobby of the [-o] office building, which he has decided 夺 to take by force. He stands in his wizard robe next to the entrance of the elevator with a comically 大 big 寸 caliper, 夺 taking by force the possessions of any office worker that comes out of the elevator. Nobody knows why he is 夺 taking by force possessions with a 寸 caliper instead of his magic powers, though.
