殘年短景

残 = 戋 + 歹 : The King of Chu (c) invited the wicked witch (歹) to try his floating tank (戋) in the anthill's kitchen (an2) and without waiting he pushed the wicked witch in and closed the lid. After a while he checked on her and found to only the complete tank, but also the wicked witch absolutely ruined (残).

年 = 午 + 丨 + 一 : Nefertiti (ni) is having lunch (午) in the anthill's kitchen (an2). Unfortunately they didn't have any cutlery left so she has to use a dinosaur bone (丨) and a flute (一) instead of fork and knife. It will take her a whole year (年) to finish her lunch this way.

短 = 矢 + 豆 : Doggy Dog (du) is playing darts (矢) with some buddies inside of the anthill (an3). He ate a bunch of beans (豆) before, so every time he throws a dart (矢), he has to go to the bathroom for a short duration (短) to fart.

景 = 日 + 京 : Mnemonic symbol: bonsai tree, 盆景 (pen2jing3), "landscape in a pot".

Joan of Arc's new hobby is to grow bonsai trees inside of the engine. She even performs a magical ritual to summon the sun, so that the bonsai can grow in its light. The sun is pretty annoyed as she just got up and only wears underpants, yet she already has to work.
