Mnemonic


[qu-] Quasimodo is in [1] front of the [-e] electricity plant when he suddenly sees a 夬 boulder rolling towards him. 缺 Lacking anything else, he grabs a 缶 clay pot that is right next to him and puts it in front, hoping that will stop the 夬 boulder. Naturally the 夬 boulder rolls over his 缺 lack of defenses and squashes Quasimodo before breaking through the wall of the electricity plant.
