Chantal Chicken (chu) is totally crazy about creating wind instruments from vegetables lately. In front of the Eiffel Tower (ei1) she stole a mandarin (口) from a local merchant and left an IOU note (欠) instead. She carved the mandarin out and created a little ocarina out of it, which she plays by blowing (吹) into it every since.

Marie Curie (xi) was breathing too much fire (息) in front of the space station (Ø1) because she accidentally put the space station on fire (火). Fortunately she has a fire extinguisher at hand to put out (熄) the fire.
