Mnemonic


[pu-] Popeye is in [1] front of the [-_] house tending to his 羊 sheep that is snacking on the lawn. However, is keeps on making a 噗 puff sound that is driving Popeye crazy. So he gets some ハ fins and stuffs them into the 羊 sheep's 口 mouth to make the 噗 puff sound go away. That done, he puts a 业 laurel wreath on the 羊 sheep as appreciation for it not 噗 puffing. Then he sits back on the lawn and cracks open a can of spinach and lets out a 噗 puff of relief.
