Mnemonic


[p-] Patrick Star is [2] inside the [-ang] chapel where he is hired to 立 guard the holy 冖 crown and 方 compass that is on top of the altar. Suddenly a naked crazy priest wearing nothing but 行 sandals comes running in and takes the 冖 crown and runs. Patrick 徬 hesitates to do anything because he is so weirded out. Then he 徬 hesitates some more, because he is not sure if he should chase after the 冖 crown or keep on guarding the holy 方 compass. While he 徬 hesitates, another crazy naked priest wearing only 行 sandals comes in and steals the 方 compass too. Patrick sits there 徬 hesitating as to what to do next, a bit dumbfounded.
