Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop, where he is an absurdly 嚴 strict employee. The 攵 foreman comes in playing a 吅 boombox and Yoshi takes a 丁 spike and jams it into his 耳 ear, and points to a sign that says NO NOISE. He then takes the 吅 boombox and throws it out of the window, where it falls down the 厂 cliff the pawn shop is on top of.
