[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-_] house on the lawn where a giant 心 heart is on 火 fire. To 熄 extinguish the fire before it burns the entire lawn, Xena goes up to it and assumes a warrior princess stance before blowing her 自 nose all over it, covering the heart with boogers, 熄 extinguishing the flames that engulfed it. Xena saved the day... in the most disgusting way!
