[bu-] Bugs Bunny is in the [3] basement of the [-_] house where he is trying 捕 to catch a 扌 finger that has infested it. He puts a 甫 trellis in the middle of the cement basement with one of his favorite carrots hanging on it, and waits for the curious 扌 finger to come out and eat it. Once it does he smashes it with another 甫 trellis he holds in his hands, finally 捕 catching the troublesome 扌 finger.
