There was once a farmer who lived near a road.#
It was not a busy gate, there was a large hole in the road.#
This hole was always full of water, and the drivers of the cars could not see
how deep the hole was. They thought it was probably shallow.#
Then when they drove into the hole, they could not drive out because it was so
deep.#
The farmer did not 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 charged
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
pulling cars out of this hole night and day."#
"Oh, no," the farmer said. "I don't pull cars out of the hole at night. At
night I fill the hole with water."&
