Mnemonic


[h-] Harry Potter is [2] inside the [-(e)ng] English manor, trying to balance a 木 tree that stands on top of a marble pillar. He uses his magic to place a heavy 廿 bucket on one end, and an aquarium on the other. The 木 tree is now perfectly 橫 horizontal. Or is, briefly, until it falls over. The butlers are mad that he broke the aquarium, so they punch him in the face, and he lies 橫 horizontally on the red velvet carpet.
