As a result, they are able to take out a huge 宀 dollhouse and a bunch of small 申 wheels that were stuck in Shrek's stomach. Apparently he ate them. Somebody needs to 审 examine Shrek's brain to see what he is doing such stupid things. MAybe the 申 wheels in his head are no longer turning, so to speak.
