Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn running from a 覀 cowboy 女 woman who is trying to lasso him. She successfully does so, lassoing him by the 腰 waist. She then ties the other end of the rope to a big 月 moon that lies in the field surrounded by cows. Yoshi can't seem to get the rope off of his 腰 waist, and just sits down in the grass, defeated.
