This is the return box that is at libraries. When you don’t want to walk in to return your books you just push the hole and throw your books in this.

There are two doors shaped as the mouth radical. If one enters the bigger mouth, they will end up going to the smaller one and keep repeating the same thing. One will keep returning to the same spot.

When you return home you feel safe. The box inside the box is safe from the outside.

think of it as a combination of two components: 口 (kǒu) meaning “mouth” and 囗 (wéi) representing an enclosure. Start with the 口 shape and add the 囗 shape around it.
