Mnemonic


[qi-] Kirby is in [1] front of the [-_] house, sitting with a 女 woman on the lawn. They both shiver because it is 淒 bitterly cold. Also because the sprinklers 氵 spray them them with 淒 bitter cold water. They try to use a pen and a 十 cross to make a fire to ward off the 淒 bitter cold, but it won't work, as the grass lawn is frozen solid.
