集恩廣益

集 = 木 + 隹 : The eight most important sparrows (隹) in the world hold a very exclusive gatherig just inside the space station's entrance (Ø2). Joan of Arc (ji) also wants to join, so she pretends to be a sparrow and sits atop the Christmas tree (木) like the other sparrows.

恩 = 因 + 心 : René Descartes (因) and Albert Einstein (Ø) are celebrating Thanksgiving day (感恩节) in front of the encampment ((e)n1). Albert Einstein bought a turkey but feels sorry for him.

广 = 亠 + 丿 : The English Wiktionary lists "canopy" as a possible meaning, and an example for a canopy is the upper part of a parachute. That's what I'll use to represent this character in other characters. In the anglepod, Gitta Giraffe just invented the art of building a parachute out of berets and bananas, using the berets as canopy and banana peels as strings. Soon, this new sport spreads all over the world as the new thing to do.

益 = 丷 + 一 + 八 + 皿 : Mnemonic symbol: Alpinia oxyphylla, a type of ginger.

The mean crocodile (丷) is visiting Maud Younger (y) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4) and asks for her help. Somehow he lost all his energy. Maud knows what to do and pulls out a bit of Alpinia oxyphylla (益), an eight ball (八), a flute (一), and a shallow bowl (皿). She crushes the eight ball and the ginger in the bowl with her flute and while doing so, she tells the crocodile that this will be the ingredients for a tea which will be very beneficial (益) to him. It will not only restore his vigor, but also increase his intellect.
