Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in [1] front of the [-a] auditorium where he is riding a magical floating 刂 saber. The audience members lined up for tickets look on in awe as Shrek frantically tries to find a way to apply the 剎 brakes. On one side of the blade he sees an 㐅 x made with 术 resin. He presses that spot and the flying 刂 saber suddenly 剎 brakes, sending Shrek flying forward with momentum.
