Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to 掩 conceal a 大 big 扌 finger that is nearly as large as him. The 大 big 扌 finger is running away from the gods that he escaped from, and hopes it can 掩 conceal itself here in the pawn shop basement. Yoshi covers it with some sheets, but it is of no use, for within the next second a 大 big 电 lightning strikes into the basement, killing the 扌 finger, who was not sufficiently 掩 concealed from the all-seeing gods.
