Mnemonic


[di-] Diddy Kong is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn, dealing with a 刁 tricky situation. He is at the top of a 丿 slide, but has no clothes, so can't slide down. One of the cows tosses him a cape, which he uses to slide down, doing a flip 刁 trick as he exits at the bottom. Diddy feels that only 刁 tricky people like himself can survive in this crazy cow-filled world.
