[xi-] Xena is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop. On the tile floor is a 心 heart, and a 丰 beanstalk grows out of it. At the top of the 丰 beanstalk is a 宀 dollhouse. Xena reads from a 憲 statute she has with her that says "宀 dollhouses cannot be in pawn shop bathrooms", then takes a 罒 net to grab the 宀 dollhouse in compliance with the 憲 statute.
