Mnemonic


[xi-] Xena is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn where she is trying 銷 to spend all of her money from her latest adventure. Outside the barn is a 金 metal 肖 spark machine operated by a talking cow, where if you put in a coin, it will shoot out 肖 sparks. Xena 銷 spends coin by coin on the silly 金 metal 肖 spark machine, and sparks go all over the place, even burning up the barn in the process. Now she will end up having 銷 to spend the rest of her money to defend herself from a lawsuit.
