Mnemonic


[z-] Zelda is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn where she is carrying a bag of 米 rice on her shoulder that she wants to feed to the cows. Suddenly a 曹 secret agent comes and hits her, 糟 messing up her balance, and causing her to fall. The 米 rice goes all over the lawn in front of the barn, making everything all 糟 messed up, as rice flies everywhere. Zelda is quite mad that her day is 糟 messed up, as she will now have to spend the rest of it picking up each grain of 米 rice.
