Question

There was once a farmer who lived near a road. It was not a       road, but from time to time, cars passed the farm.

Near the farm gate, there was a large       in the road. This hole was always full of water.

The drivers of the cars that passed by could not       how deep the hole was. They thought it was probably shallow (浅的). Then when they drove into the hole, they could not drive       because it was very deep.

The farmer did not spend much time           on his farm. He spent most of time watching the hole. When a car drove into it, he pulled the car out with his tractor (拖拉机) and demanded a lot of       for doing this.

One day, a driver of a car said to him: “You must make a lot of money by pulling cars out of this hole       .”

“Oh, no,” the farmer said. “I don’t pull cars out of the hole at night. At night I fill the hole with water.”
