There was once a farmer. He lived near a road.
It was not a busy road, but from time to time cars passed the farm. Near the farm gate, there was a
large hole in the road.
The hole was always full of water, and the drives of the cars could not see how deep the hole was.
They thought that it was not deep.
Then when they drove their cars into the hole they could not drove out of it because it was so deep.
The farm didn't spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole.
When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor and asked the driver a lot of money for doing this.
One day, the driver of a car said to him, " You must make a lot of money by 
pulling cars out of this
hole day and night." " Oh, no," said the farmer. " I don't pull cars out of the hole at night. At night, I fill the
hole with water."
