[g-] Gandalf is in [1] front of the [-ao] barn, wearing a tiara. He is applying an 膏 ointment to the mouth of a cow that is out in front of the barn. The 膏 ointment is contained in a miniature 月 moon, and helps sooth the pain the cow currently feels in its 口 mouth from earlier chewing on Gandalf's tiara.
