Where it comes from
Three strokes, the middle shortest — and the end of the pattern: four is a borrowed character, not four strokes, because the script felt the cliff coming and switched moves. Taught in the strokes chapter.
How to remember it
Count the strokes and you have read the character: three. Enjoy it — it is the last time the trick works.
