Mnemonic


[g-] Gandalf is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he is practicing dark magic. He takes the 桿 shaft of a large 干 syringe and jams it into the 桿 shaft of a narrow fake tree that is there in the basement on sale. As a result, the 木 tree spits out a miniature 日 sun that shines down on Gandalf there in the basement.
