Mnemonic


[s-] Spongebob is in [1] front of the [-_] house, sitting on the lawn. Suddenly an 厶 elbow comes hopping up holding a 禾 grain stalk. Spongebob, ever friendly, asks where the 厶 elbow is from, or why it is holding a 禾 grain stalk. The 厶 elbow considers these things 私 private matters, and intends to make that clear. Having no mouth, he "replies" by hitting Spongebob with his 禾 grain stalk for prying into his 私 privacy!
