[ku-] Koopa Troopa is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay, where he finds a sandy 貝 shellfish in the bathtub. Koopa Troopa reaches into his man 
purse and takes out some turtle 食 food which he 饋 gifts to the 貝 shellfish. Koopa Troopa, who is too shy to ask the 貝 shellfish to leave his bathroom, hopes that 饋 gifting it something will make it leave. Sure enough, the 貝 shellfish 饋 gifts Koopa Troopa with its absence by leaving the bathroom. Now Koopa Troopa can clean his sandy shell in peace.
