[b-] Bart Simpson is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop where he walks away from the sink. He 絆 stumbles over a piece of priceless ancient Chinese 糸 silk that lays on the dirty tile floor, ripping it into two 半 halves in the process. Bart wonders who put the 糸 silk there, and if they did so to purposefully 絆 stumble him up! Now he's going to have to compensate the boss, putting another 絆 stumble in his plans of saving up money for a new skateboard.
