Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is in the [3] basement of the [-ong] temple feeling lonely. He sits on the rock floor near the relics, where he finds a fairly large 幺 cocoon with a 亠 lid on it. He uses his 扌 finger to take the 亠 lid off and a 隹 turkey pops out of it. The 隹 turkey gives Yoshi a big 擁 embrace for freeing him from the weird 幺 cocoon. Yoshi is so happy that someone is here 擁 to embrace him and make him feel less lonely.
