What does that add up to? Near about 18-20 lbs? That's not hard to lift, considering he has a pulley to support the weight.
I agree JL its a matter of balancing. Its really hard specially while you are passing the downtown shingahi with piled up plastic bags which are your whole day earning too.
Allah gives to those who work hard. No wonder we see chinese community so stablished in all the major cities of North America.
