Mnemonic


[pi-] Pinocchio is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he 偏 leans against the door. He has to do this, because the 戶 door tends 偏 to lean such that it opens. Eventually he uses a 冊 booklet to stop the 偏 leaning door, but then 亻 Slenderman comes bursting out of the pawn shop, causing the 冊 booklet 偏 to lean over and fall to the ground.
