離城市非常遠的地方住着一個貧窮的農夫和他的妻子。在他們的房子前面是一條很小的土路。非常少的車輛駛過這條道路，因爲它離城市是如此的遠。在這條土路上，有一個很大的充滿了水的洞。這個洞非常深，但是在這條路上的司機並不知道多深。司機們總是駛進洞中，而且從他們沒有駛出來。
一天，一個人開着一輛新轎車正駛在這條道路上。他看到了這個有水的洞，但是他認爲洞不是很深。他駛進了這個洞中，但是他不能駛出來了。這個人看到農夫正駕駛着拖拉機在田地理工作，於是他對這個農夫打招呼。農夫向這個人坐的轎車駛過來。
“有難題嗎？”農夫問。“是的，”這個人回答。
“我的轎車載進這個洞裏了。你能幫助我嗎？”
“也許可以，”農夫回答。“但是我非常忙。”
“如果你幫助我，我將付您錢，”這個人說。
“好吧。”農夫說。
農夫用他的拖拉機把轎車從洞里拉了出來，然後這個人付給他很多錢。
這個男人看着農夫說，“你日夜從這個洞里拉轎車出來一定賺了很多錢。”
“實際上不是這樣，”農夫說。
“爲什麼不？”這個男人問。“這個洞非常深，有很多陷進去的人請求幫助。但是我沒有日夜賺錢，因爲我在晚上不拉汽車出來。”
“在晚上我忙着往這個洞裏面注水，”農夫回答。
