Mnemonic

Don't worry, you aren't the only one out there with just one finger, sheep (し) only have one finger too. I mean, they're hooves, which are really just a single animal finger. It's just big and kind of flat.

Picture sitting with a sheep. It's right across from you, staring into your eyes. It reaches out its sheep finger hoof and you reach out with your finger. They touch. It's magical.
