Mnemonic


[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-_] house where he is chewing on a small 支 branch that he found on the lawn. With each movement of his 口 mouth, the small 支 branch makes a loud 吱 creaking noise that echoes throughout the neighborhood. Maybe these 吱 creaks are some sort of secret code that James Bond is using.
