[ji-] Jimmy Neutron is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to make some 虫 insects form a 繭 cocoon. He wears a 冂 hood and sits on the bare cement floor for some reason and rubs 艹 flowers all over the 虫 insects - a special flower that he invented. They actually end up forming 繭 cocoons! Jimmy then takes a second-hand 丨 rod and crushes the 繭 cocoons, and starts taking pieces of 糸 silk from them that he hopes to sell to the pawn shop owner.
