Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, where he has been employed as a janitor. Another day working at a job he 厭 detests. All across the tile floor is a bunch of random stuff he has to clean up. A passed out 犬 bulldog, some 月 moons, and a dimly shining miniature 日 sun. Yoshi goes around picking them up with his tongue. Then he throws all of these things, which he 厭 detests, out the window and down the 厂 cliff.
