Mnemonic
[ti-] Timmy Turner is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop, where he has attached a small 
pump to a hose to 氵 spray water over the brown lawn. It does not 氵 spray much, so he wishes it would 添 increase. The next second, water starts 氵 spraying down from the 天 heavens in 添 increasing amounts. It causes a flash flood and keeps on 添 increasing in volume before Timmy can even wish for it to stop.
