Mnemonic


[xu-] Professor X is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he works part-time. It is 旦 daybreak and he is wheeling around the front of the patchy lawn, trying to improve it by planting 萱 daylilies that are stored in an upside-down 宀 dollhouse. He uses a second-hand trowel to plant the 萱 daylilies into the 一 ground. Their 艹 flowers are already blooming, and Professor X sits in his wheelchair admiring the 萱 daylilies right after 旦 daybreak.
