Mnemonic


[c-] Casper is [2] inside the living room of the [-_] house where he works for an 厶 elbow that wears a pair of 爫 cleats and is on the couch. It yells for the ghost to go fetch him a 辛 pepper and a 又 folding stool, which Casper does. Then it asks for more annoying things, like a 冂 hood, and asks for Casper to wear it while eating a 辛 pepper and so on. Eventually Casper cannot take it anymore and 辭 resigns from his job. Given that he is a ghost, he does not even really need money for food or a house, so it is not clear why he was working. So he 辭 resigns and walks out of the living room, leaving the 爫 cleat wearing 厶 elbow alone, without any servant.
