Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn and finds a suspicious looking 夭 chute attached to the side of the building. He goes over to it and stands at the opening. At the same moment, the barn owner dumps all of his deadly weapons and blades through the chute, which fall down and shoot out the other end, killing Yoshi, making him 夭 die young. If you are not careful around 夭 chutes, you may 夭 die young, like Yoshi...
