Mnemonic


[f-] Frodo is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay where he is trying 沸 to boil his 弗 credit cards in the 沸 boiling hot bath. The reason? They are covered in sand and also full of debt, so he hopes he can wash both off with a 沸 boil. He drops them in one by one, but the 沸 boiled water 氵 sprays on him, burning him a bit as he is wearing nothing other than a swimming suit.
