[bi-] Bigfoot is in [1] front of the [-an] pawn shop where he is 編 compiling a 冊 booklet about secondhand 糸 silk. He does it outside because the light is better. He uses a 戶 door as a table, and staples a piece of 糸 silk to each page of the 冊 booklet, and underneath writes where it comes from and so on. The patrons of the shop stare at him before going inside, because he is Bigfoot.
