Mnemonic


[t-] Tarzan is [2] inside the [-an] pawn shop where he is growing a large 檀 sandalwood 木 tree. Suddenly, at 旦 daybreak, a 回 whirlpool opens up in the middle of the pawn shop. Tarzan swings around the 檀 sandalwood tree, cutting out two 亠 lids worth of 檀 sandalwood that he then puts on his feed, making... sandals. He uses those 檀 sandalwood 亠 lid sandals to walk on the 回 whirlpool water, preventing himself from getting sucked in even as all of the priceless goods there are.
