Mnemonic


[li-] Link is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to buy a 兼 leaf blower. The person at the counter asks him to be 廉 honest and tell them what he is going to use it for. Link replies 廉 honestly that he will use it to blow over the 广 shack that is in the corner of the pawn shop. They sell it to him anyway, and sure enough he does what he just was 廉 honest about and turns it on and blows over the 广 shack that is barely standing in the corner of the pawn shop.
