Mnemonic


[gu-] Goofy is in [1] front of the [-(e)i] beach house by the bay where he is trying to catch some 鮭 salmon. He has made a waterway with a bunch of 圭 bricks that connects the sea bay to an inland lake and sits at the edge of it in the sand, watching the 魚 fish swim past. When he finds any 鮭 salmon he sticks his head down into the water and bites it to grab it out. Because he has eaten so many 鮭 salmon today, he is turning pink. Or maybe it is because he is sunburnt from being out in the beach all day. Hard to tell.
