Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he is analyzing some second-hand 珊 coral he just bought that he has placed on the grass. He reads a 冊 booklet about 珊 coral that he also bought at the shop, to see if they stuff he bought is of value. As instructed by the 冊 booklet, he takes a 王 scepter and hits the 珊 coral with it to see if it breaks. It doesn't - which means it is real genuine 珊 coral.
