Mnemonic


[shu-] Sherlock Holmes is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he has just bought a special 王 scepter. It has 栓 plugs sticking out of each end. Sherlock removes the top 栓 plug and out comes a convenient umbrella. Then he removes the bottom 栓 plug and the 王 scepter turns into a 木 tree that takes root in the sidewalk, providing shade for Sherlock to think under.
