Mnemonic


[k-] Kermit the Frog is in [1] front of the [-ong] temple where it is completely 空 empty. No monks, no activity, only a walking dollhouse that is in the middle of the rock garden. Kermit goes over to it and reaches in and pulls out a 工 cross-beam that was inside the walking dollhouse. Now the walking dollhouse is 空 empty too. Kermit the Frog, with nothing to do, feels 空 empty, too.
