[zhu-] George Costanza is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house, trying 著 to write his memoirs. His 
elder sits in the bathtub and dictates stories while George 著 writes them on a roll of toilet paper. The 日 sun shines through the window onto a vase of 艹 flowers, but George is too busy 著 writing to notice. His
elder insists that every detail about the 日 sun and 艹 flowers must go in the book.
