Mnemonic


[pi-] Pinocchio is [2] inside the [-(e)n] infirmary, with a broken limb. Unfortunately, he is currently 贫 impoverished and so cannot afford treatment. He, in front of his sick bed, has his possessions set out for sale on a sheet. A 贝 shellfish, a rotten ハ fin, and a rusty 刀 sword. I think even if he sells those, he will still be too 贫 impoverished.
