Mnemonic


[ch-] Charlie Brown is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop where he is trying to 諂 flatter the employee there to sell him a ⺈ dagger despite the fact he is a young kid. He is not very good at 諂 flattering others, so only says things like "you make me not sad" and so on. The 言 words hit the employee in the face and fall limply to the ground, ineffective. The employee says the most he can do is sell him a 臼 mortar and that 諂 flattering him won't work.
