Mnemonic


[p-] Patrick Star is [2] inside the [-(e)i] beach house on the bay, which he is renting for a couple of days. He trips and knocks over a couple of priceless 貝 shellfish, their shells shattering all over the floor. Patrick takes out a 咅 mouthguard from his pocket - covered in pocket lint - and puts it on the table as 賠 compensation. He writes a note: "sorry for breaking your 貝 shellfish, here is a 咅 mouth guard.". Patrick, I don't think that is a suitable way 賠 to compensate the loss of all those priceless relics.
