Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in the [4] bathroom of the [-_] house trying 釋 to explain why there are a bunch of 釆 droppings around a 幸 totem that stands in the middle of the tile floor. He thinks it's due to rats, so he has deployed a 罒 net trap next to the 幸 totem to find the root cause that 釋 explains the 釆 droppings.
