The terrible tale of Alphonse the camel and Frank the camel killer. Once upon a time there was a camel, called Alphonse. For various reasons relating to an unfortunate accident during his birth, the camel had severe back problems. This was not the end of his misfortune, however, because he had an evil exploitative owner called Frank the camel killer, who regularly overloaded his camels before taking them on painful and totally pointless round trips up and down mountains on his way to deliver goods to his customers. These customers, shockingly, were completely indifferent to Frank's frequent and gross violations of the rights of camels, and they found Frank in his antics, at least vaguely amusing. Well, one Friday, Frank had just finished loading up Alphonse and his poor, exploited fellow creatures for yet another painful and totally pointless round trip up and down the mountains. He had piled and piled and piled up goods onto Alphonse's back and was taking a break and reflecting smuggling on his handiwork, chewing a straw. On a whim, he decided to add the bedraggled straw he had been chewing to Alphonse's load. Alphonse groaned obligingly. He eyed his owner with disgust. He keeled over and died of radical and irreversible back collapse.
