Translation
Mnemonic
Mnemonic symbol: bourbon, 波旁 (bo1 pang2).
The beast (六) is nominated for a challenge by Pinocchio (p) in the anglepod's kitchen (ang2). Pinocchio asks the beast to fit a saucepan lid (冖) into a square (方). If he succeeds, he'll get a bottle of bourbon (旁) that Pinocchio keeps at his side (旁), so the beast is jumping on the saucepan lid madly trying to push it through the square.
