欠
:
Marie Curie (xi) is gambling on a quiz wheel (曷) in front of the elevator (e1). As she turns the wheel and it turns out that she will have to pay a great debt, she says "give me a break" (歇), leaves an IOU note (欠) instead and lies down in the grass to relax a bit (歇).

小
:
Mnemonic symbol derived from the components: a peace dove. Albert Einstein (Ø) wants to send a message of peace to earth from the space station's living room (Ø3). He wanted to give a dove (尔) a daisy (小) so that it can bring it to earth, but the dove is late! Albert has no choice but to give it to a passing crane (⺈) instead. Thus, the crane flies to earth with the daisy in his beak, just like a peace dove.
