Mnemonic


[k-] Kermit the Frog is in the [3] basement of the [-(e)n] infirmary where he is 懇 earnestly helping the doctors operate on a sick 豸 leopard. He takes a 心 heart made of 艮 silver and gives it to the doctors who switch it out with the old rotten 心 heart. The 豸 leopard then comes back to life and starts 懇 earnestly licking Kermit and the doctors all over their face. Thanks to their 懇 earnest work, the 豸 leopard now has a 心 heart of 艮 silver, literally.
