Mnemonic


[sh-] Shrek is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn, camping out for the night. Though it is warm outside, he has a 燒 fever and so he suddenly feels quite cold. He grabs a 堯 Go board and lights it on 火 fire, warming himself up. He suddenly feels too warm, and puts out the 火 fire by throwing mud and hay on it. Afterwards he suddenly feels cold once more. What an annoying 燒 fever! Time to find another 堯 Go board to light on 火 fire.
