Mnemonic


[g-] Gandalf is in the [4] bathroom of the [-ai] high school where he is down and out. He leans against the tile wall next to the urinals with a 丐 alms bowl made of 钅 metal, begging for 钙 calcium so he can regain enough bone strength to walk out of there after some evil spirit stole all of his 钙 calcium, making his bones jello. The kids give him some 钙 calcium tabs they got from home or from the school sickroom to try to help the old wizard get back on his feet, literally.
