Burdens

Around 1998 in New Zealand, Shrek the sheep decided he no longer wanted to be fleeced (or, sheared,) so he hid in caves until finally found in 2004. His wool coat, which normally weighed ten pounds when it was removed each spring, now weighed 60 pounds. That extra 50 pounds had to weigh heavily on Shrek, who weighed around 200 pounds without it, especially during the summer.
