The wicked witch (歹) sentenced Sheldon Shrimp (shu) to be beheaded (殊) in front of the space station (Ø1), but a vermilion flycatcher (朱) is going to help him. Since the witch is very short-sighted, the bird sits on Sheldon's shoulders acting as his head, flying down as the blade falls down while Sheldon's head is actually behind the guillotine. To the witch it looked like Sheldon's head fell down. - Mnemonic by Matthias, over 2 years ago | add a painting
