Mnemonic


[cu-] Cupid is in [1] front of the [-o] office where there is a large 工 cross-beam. Cupid places a 扌 finger on the 工 cross-beam then 搓 rubs with the hands all over the 工 cross-beam while chanting strange love songs. Suddenly the 扌 finger turns into a 羊 sheep! The office workers, surprised, all go up to it and 搓 rub with the hands the 羊 sheep to ensure it is real.
