What's 次

次 つぐ, next, is common enough.  I don't know why you put ice 冫together with a hole 欠 and get next, but so be it.

This set of 漢字の物語 feature various agents:  a playboy, a consultant, a grazing animal, a banker, and a thief.

姿, figure/shape:           A woman has a figure, but so does the next.
恣, selfish/arbitrary:      ...or so thinks the selfish man:  it's arbitrary -- one's much like the next
諮, consult/deliberate:  Words in which one mouth speaks, then the next.
茨, thorn/briar:              The thorns tell the grazing animal:  skip this bush and go on to the next.
資, capital/resources:    Capital is a commodity -- one piece of money is just like the next.
盗, steal:                       The next thing to do is steal a plate.

次姿恣諮茨資,盗
