Mnemonic


[ti-] Timmy Turner is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he wishes to be able 舔 to lick the essence of 天 heaven. The wish is granted, and an old second-hand pump that is in the basement suddenly transforms, and sprouts a feeder tube that goes out the window and up into the air, all the way to 天 heaven. It slowly drips a 天 heavenly essence, and Timmy gets on his knees and 舔 licks it with his 舌 tongue. It tastes like sugar.
