a sheepish affair

bertha the sheep makes a wholehearted and hopeful run away from farmer jim whom she knows was going to shear her wool. however a run in her tumbled heavy woolly coat began to make bertha sweat -- *pant pant*

and bertha thought to herself, "hrm hrm, maybe letting him shear the wool may not be that bad an affair. it will surely be much lighter a coat to run in, and makes sheer sense!"
