One day a farmer's donkey fell into an abandoned well. The animal cried piteously (可憐地) for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. __51__ So it just wasn't worth it for him to try to save the donkey.

__52__ They each grabbed a shovel (鐵鍬) and began to shovel dirt into the well. Realizing what was happening, the donkey at first cried and wailed horribly.

Then, a few shovel loads later, he quieted down completely. __53__ With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.
