Mnemonic


[g-] Gandalf is in [1] front of the [-(o)u] bakery where he is doing some renovations as he smokes his pipe and snacks on a croissant. He lays a wire mesh on top of a 溝 ditch that is in front of the bakery. Some water still 氵 sprays through the wire mesh from the 溝 ditch, though. So he gets a 用 rack and lays it on top of the 溝 ditch as well.
