Mnemonic


[pi-] Pinocchio is in [1] front of the [-e] electricity plant with a 敝 shredder, powered by an extension cord that leads out of the plant. He 撇 casts aside each of his 扌 fingers one by one into the 敝 shredder, sick of how worn down they look. Whenever Pinocchio gets sick of one of his wooden body parts he is quick to 撇 cast aside it.
