梁 = 氵 + 八 + 刀 + 木 : Li Qingzhao (li) wants to repair the anglepod's kitchen (ang2), specifically, she wants to set up a new beam on the roof (梁). To reach her goal she puts the lower end of a Christmas tree (木) into a broad water bottle (氵) so that it stands steady. She then proceeds to chop off all the branches with a cleaver (刀), so she can obtain the beam. As she lifts the beam onto the walls, she pushes off an eight ball (八), which falls down and crashes the water bottle (氵). Fortunately she won't need the water bottle anymore since she already put up the beam of the new roof (梁).
