[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, where he works. He loves his job so much that he wants 延 to prolong his shift. So he 廴 stretches his long tongue across over the glass display counter and the room to push back the hour 正 pointer of the clock on the other side. Now he can 延 prolong his shift another hour, or so he thinks.
