[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-ang] chapel, where there is a large 昜 enclosure surrounded by priests. They are all staring at a 扌 finger that they have locked in there. Yoshi takes pity on the 扌 finger, and against the wishes of the priest uses his long tongue 揚 to hoist the 扌 finger out of the 昜 enclosure. The priests try to grab the 扌 finger from him, but Yoshi uses his small arms 揚 to hoist the 扌 finger out of their reach as he tries to escape from the inside of the chapel.
