Mnemonic


[y-] Yoshi is [2] inside the [-ao] barn, working. In the corner, by a pile of hay, is a 缶 clay pot that keeps on emitting 言 words of 謠 rumors. They hit Yoshi in the face, each 謠 rumor saying that "There is a 月 moon in the 缶 clay pot!" Yoshi, sick of it, gets an egg and throws it at the 缶 clay pot, breaking it open. Sure enough, the 謠 rumor is true, and a floating miniature 月 moon emerges from the broken pot, emitting a faint light across the haystacks.
