My yi- character is in the bathroom of my -e set. She is reading a book and finds a beautiful illustration of a Conch Shell. She takes a Razor Blade and cuts the photo out of the PAGE. As she is leaving and washing up, a Drop of Water lands on the PAGE. She exclaims “Oh no! This PAGE is ruined!”

In bathroom, my yi actor lays out a bunch of Cowrie shells, and then uses a RAZOR BLADE to chop them up into a fine white powder!
Next she takes a DROPPER and gets a few drops of toilet water, putting it on the powder and then smoothing it out into a flat PAGE of paper!
Montage of the process repeating until she has a stack of A4 PAGES of paper.
And that's how paper is made.
The more you know.

Before I started the MB method and just randomly learned some chinese characters I learned the character 叶 for leaf.
This character seems to have the same meaning and the same pronunciation as 页.
I have never encountered this situation before. Usually one character has several meanings and pronunciations rather than several characters having the same pronunciation and meaning. Can you shed some light on this phenomenon? And onto what the difference between 叶 and 页 is?
Mandarin Blueprint
Hey Philippe, they do indeed have the same pronunciation, but 叶 is specifically a leaf from a tree whereas 页 is a page from a book, so they don't have the same meaning.

Eva Gabor (yi/y actor) is consulting with her PAGE (页) about using a razor blade (一) and some poison drops (丶) to get rid of the evil shellfish lurking in the bathroom of my e- set
Jonathan Glazier
Elizabeth Taylor (y actror) is in Burrells Wharf (e set) roof garden I jump in-front of her dressed in my snails mascot costume (bottom element) brandishing a samurai sword (top element). She starts to cry tears dropping down her cheeks (drop). She yells cut and gets really angry saying this scene is rubbish and it is cut, she emphasises her point by tearing the PAGE (KW) from the script.
Stephanie Arapian
Idina is in the backyard of the -e set, with a sketchbook and a Pencil (prop). She's rapidly sketching the Hermit Crab (prop) as it crawls across the page.
The sketch comes to life, the 2-D form crossing the PAGE alongside the 3-D, and inching over into the next PAGE! Idina is amazed\, but drops of rain start falling on the book, ruining the Page and the drawing.
