Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in the [3] basement of the [-ong] temple where he is trapped in a corner. Blocking the way to the exit is an ancient 甬 smoker that is bellowing incense smoke. Yoshi, who has a 足 wooden leg because of an earlier mishap, is struggling to get around it without disturbing any of the other ancient relics and gongs down in the temple basement. So he uses his powerful tongue to 踊 leap over the 甬 smoker and through the smoke, landing on the other side of the narrow basement passage. Who knew that Yoshi could 踊 leap with his tongue after he lost one of his legs!
