深州市

深 = 氵 + 冖 + 八 + 木 : In front of the encampment ((e)n1) an eight ball (八) has been fixed to the top of a Christmas tree (木), and on top of the eight ball a cooking top is balanced carefully so that it doesn't topple over. On the cooking top a lot of water bottles (氵) are standing so that everything is perfectly balanced. As Sherlock Holmes (sh) comes along he finds that this construction is very interesting, and he makes a profound (深) mistake with a deep (深) impact: as he takes down only one of the bottles the whole thing collapses and all the other bottles break as they fall on the ground. Soon, Sherlock Holmes is in deep (深) trouble as the water from the water bottles gets deeper and deeper (深).

深 = 氵 + 罙 : Sherlock Holmes (sh) finds a grease fire in front of the encampment ((e)n1). He wants to put it out, but he knows that you shouldn't directly pour water in a grease fire. Instead, to keep a distance from the fire, he pours bottled water (氵) through the top of the chimney above the kitchen range (罙). Soon, the kitchen range is submerged in deep (深) water.

州 = 丶 + 丷 + 川 : Mnemonic symbol: the red cotton tree, as it is the official flower of 广州 (Guangzhou). A new river (川) formed spontaneously in front of the outhouse (ou1), and James II of England (zh) was barely able to climb on a red cotton tree (州). Other animals are happy about this development: a mean crocodile (丷) is floating on a petal leaf (丶) towards the red cotton tree.

市 = 亠 + 巾 : Mnemonic symbol: a supermarket.

Sherlock Holmes (sh) started a supermarket (市) in the space station's bathroom (Ø4), but all he has for sale right now are berets (亠) and towels (巾). He should have opened it at the beach!
