[ju-] Julius Caesar is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he finds a 凹 concave that a 隹 turkey is in. He yanks it out and puts a piece of scrap 金 metal (that he just bought at the pawn shop) in front of it and tells it to 鐫 engrave his name onto it. The 隹 turkey uses its beak to 鐫 engrave Julius Caesar's name into the thin sheet of 金 metal. Julius then kicks the 隹 turkey back into the 凹 concave and puts the 鐫 engraved 金 metal into his toga robe.
