Mnemonic


[d-] Dracula is in the [3] cellar of the [-ao] barn, wearing a pair of 足 wooden legs, with a pair of 爫 cleats at the end. He is looking for a 臼 mortar to make some vampire medicine, while drinking a bottle of milk. Unfortunately, he is so high up that he accidentally 蹈 treads on the 臼 mortar which was left on the floor, causing him to fall over on his face, causing his fangs to snap out. Ouch!
