[y-] Yoshi is in the [4] bathroom of the [-(o)u] bakery, wearing an apron. A 禾 grain stalk is hanging from the ceiling covered in flour. 言 Words suddenly come out of it, 誘 enticing Yoshi to grab it: "come on dinosaur, come get me, you know you want to", each 言 word hitting Yoshi in the face while he sits on the toilet. He gets up and puts some 乃 stairs underneath it and jumps up and tries to grab it, as it continues to 誘 entice him. Eventually he just throws an egg shell at it.
