Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-ong] temple looking for ways to grow her 胸 chest. She unburies a 凶 treasure chest that was in the rock garden and opens it. Inside is a 勹 container with a 月 moon. Just what she needed! She takes her sword and cuts the 月 moon in half then places each half on her 胸 chest, making it larger. The monks, meditating in the rock garden, try not to look at her 胸 chest, but are finding it hard to keep their mind off of it.
