Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop, waiting for it to open. Suddenly a 大 big 电 lightning strikes near him, hitting a water pipe, which begins to 氵 spray everywhere, 淹 flooding the patchy front lawn. Yoshi makes a makeshift boat out of egg shells to float, as the 淹 flooding continues, consuming the pawn shop building.
