It's been a long day. But lets relax with another set of 25 characters. Just like we do everyday....
wood, tree (radical) 木
to pick 采
grass (radical) 艹
vegetable 菜
nail 丁
can 可
older brother 哥
yawn 欠
song 歌
to say 曰
sunlight (radical); flourishing 昌
to sing 唱
to sing 唱歌
to beg 乞
to eat 吃
mountain 山
to go out 出
car 车
moreover, a long time (radical) 且
grain 禾
to rent 租
taxi 出租车
son 儿
only just 才
tooth 牙
You might notice that 曰 (to say) looks an awful lot like 日 (sun). This is because the Chinese are sadistic. This character 昌 (sunlight) has both character in, and I defy you to be able to tell me which is which.
I like that 'Taxi' is 出租车 'to go out' + 'to rent' + 'car'. A car you go out and rent. Very logical.
