[zh-] James Bond is in [1] front of the [-(o)u] bakery, not feeling too well after eating too many croissants. So he sits on the grass and pulls out a bowl of 米 rice and starts making 粥 porridge hoping that will settle his stomach. To crush up watery 米 rice in the bowl, he gets two 弓 bows and jams them in the 弓 bowl to stir up his 粥 porridge.
