Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)n] infirmary, looking for a 真 true 忄 soul to help him out with his health problem. He searches 慎 cautiously because without a 真 true 忄 soul to help him, he can't receive medical help, as is ogre lore. With his 真 true 忄 soul lantern he shines it upon the nurses coming in and out of the bathroom. You can never be too 慎 cautious when it comes to 真 true matters of the 忄 soul and health.
