Mnemonic


[pu-] Popeye is in [1] front of the [-_] house where him and a 扌 finger are having a wrestling contest to see who should get a 卜 magic stick that they found earlier in the grass. Popeye eats a can of spinach then 扑 pounces on the 扌 finger, easily wrestling it into submission. He then wins the 卜 magic stick which he 扑 pounces on to grab from the grass before anyone else takes it.
