Mnemonic


[p-] Patrick Star is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, where he works. He 盼 hopes for a tasty snack to appear. Suddenly an 目 eye with two ハ fins comes flapping in through the window. The thing Patrick has 盼 hoped for has suddenly arrived. Patrick jumps off the toilet and takes a second-hand rusty 刀 sword and cuts the 目 eye in half. It falls out of the air into Patrick's mouth, and he swallows with relish. Now he 盼 hopes for another.
