You might have heard a certain rumor about me. This rumor is completely false. You might also have heard the other rumor about me. This rumor is 100% accurate.

When I was a little kid our neighbors had a few of these critters. They are pretty cute, actually. Their mom used to spin their hair to whool and make sweaters from it. Angora whool is softer and warmer than sheep whool and thus much more expensive.
