Mnemonic


[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [3] basement of the [-ong] temple where he has become a 窘 poor beggar. He sits on the rock floor of the basement begging for change next to the relics because he is 窘 poor because his genius is not appreciated here in the temple. A walking dollhouse comes by and gives Jimmy Neutron a miniature 尹 rake which Jimmy then eats with his 口 mouth. It has 窘 poor nutrition, but beggars can't be choosers.
