threshold

Mnemonic


[k-] Kermit is in the [3] basement of the [-an] pawn shop, trying to leave. Unfortunately, a 監 jailer is guarding the 檻 threshold that is at the top of the stairs. And what's more, a giant 木 tree has been placed to block the 檻 threshold, making it impossible for Kermit to leave. He's not sure why he is trapped in the basement, as he only just got there to find some second-hand goods to buy.
