摘要：离城市非常远的地方住着一个贫穷的农夫和他的妻子。在他们的房子前面是一条很小的土路。在这条土路上，有一个很大的充满了水的洞。这个洞非常深，但是在这条路上的司机并不知道多深。
Very far away from the city lived a poor farmer and his wife. In front of their house was a small dirt road. Very few cars drove on this road because it was so far from the city. On the dirt road, there was a big hole filled with water. The hole was very deep, but drivers on the road didn’t Know just how deep.Drives always drove into the hole,but they never drove out.
One day,a man in a new car was driving down the road. He saw the hole with the water,but he didn’t think it was very deep.He drove into the hole,but he couldn’t drive out. The man saw the farmer on his tractor working in the field,and he signaled to the farmer. The farmer drove over to the man in the new car.
"Is there a problem?" asked the farmer.
"Yes,"said the man. "My car is stuck in this hole.Can you help me?"
"Maybe," said the farmer." But I'm very busy."
"If you help me, I'll pay you,"said the man.
"OK," said the farmer. The farmer pulled the car out of the hole with his tractor,and the man paid him a lot of money. The man looked at the farmer and said, "You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of this hole day and night."
"Actually, no,"said the farmer.
"Why not?"asked the man."The hole is very deep,and a lot of people get stuck and ask for help.But I don't make money day and night because I don't pull cars out at night."
"At night I'm busy filling the hole with water,"answer the farmer.
