Mnemonic


[ku-] Koopa Troopa is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house, looking for some snacks to eat. On top of a 古 headstone that sticks out of the cement ground is a bunch of 艹 flowers. He takes a handful of them and starts eating them. Of course, they are quite 苦 bitter, and he spits out the half-chewed 艹 flowers back onto the top of the 古 headstone. Even turtles don't like 苦 bitter food.
