Mnemonic


[t-] Tarzan is in the [3] basement of the [-a] auditorium where he is rehearsing with his wild 獭 otter with some old stage props stored down there. He takes out a 束 bundle of 贝 shellfish and stabs them open with a ⺈ dagger and feeds them to the 獭 otter as they prepare for the next act. The 獭 otter then stands on its legs and begins to recite Shakespeare verses to a 犭 poodle that is also standing on its legs playing its part. Who knew that these animals were more civilized and cultured than Tarzan himself!
