Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house, trying to get out. Next to the 戶 door stands the 攵 foreman, who won't let him 啟 open the 戶 door. Every time Kirby 啟 opens his 口 mouth, the 攵 foreman does the same, repeating back whatever he says. Eventually Kirby punches him in the 啟 open 口 mouth, then 啟 opens the basement 戶 door.
