多謀善斷

多 = 夕 : Mnemonic symbol: Immanuel "Many" Kant.

Many (多) and Doggy Dog (du) have great fun chasing a bat (夕) in front of the observatory (o1). After a while there are two bats (多), and it's not so easy to chase them any more. Suddenly there are more and more (多) bats! Now Many and Doggy Dog experience what it is like to be chased for a change.

谋 = 某 + 讠 : Mahatma Gandhi (m) put up an advertisement on an advertising column (讠) in the outhouse's kitchen (ou2). On the advertising he is playing "somewhere over the rainbow" on an ukulele (某), but his plan (谋) is that many people will come to hear his concert and before the concert he can give a long speech about India's independence to a lot of people.

善 = 业 + 口 + 羊 : Mnemonic symbol: a good book about etiquette.

Sherlock Holmes (sh) finds a bullfrog (业) and a sheep (羊) fighting viciously over a mandarin (口) in the anthill's bathroom (an4). He finds this behaviour unbearable and starts to read Emily Post to them to teach them some manners (善).

断 = 乚 + 斤 + 米 : Doggy Dog is working out in the anthill's bathroom. He uses two big barbells, but they are not enough: He attached shovels to the barbells and sacks of rice on them. The load is too much though: Just as he is pushing the barbells up the shafts of the shovels snap.
