Mnemonic


[r-] Robin Hood is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, saving up money as a sales clerk. Someone comes in trying to find something that will help calm his 犬 bulldog that barks all of the time. Robin sells him a 月 moon sculpture along with a 灬 burner for this purpose. To demonstrate how it works, he puts the moon sculpture on top of the 灬 burner and turns the 灬 burner on, then says, "like 然 so" in his smug way. The 月 moon turns red-hot 然 so the barking 犬 bulldog shuts up and stares at the red 月 moon.
