Mnemonic


[di-] Diddy Kong is in the [4] bathroom of the [-an] pawn shop, going to the bathroom. The problem is that the 電 electricity has gone out, and in the pitch black bathroom he can't find the extra toilet paper rolls. All he hears is the sound of the 雨 rain outside. A bolt of 电 lightning comes down and hits the pawn shop, turning the 電 electricity back on. Diddy still can't find the toilet rolls. Maybe the customers stole them. They are a thrifty bunch, after all.
