Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is [2] inside the living room of the [-_] house, which has 扌 fingers and 合 gloves scattered everywhere across the floor from an earlier mishap when all of his guests dropped their 扌 fingers (and subsequently discarded their no longer needed 合 gloves). Shrek goes around and 拾 tidies up, wondering why he is the only one who did not lose any 扌 fingers. Maybe because he never wears a 合 glove, not even when he 拾 tidies up.
