There was 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 big hole（洞）in the road．The road was always full of water, and the driver of the cars could not see how deep（深）the hole was．They thought that it was not deep．Then when they drove their cars into the hole，they could not drive out of it because it was so deep．The farmer 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（拖拉机）and asked the driver a lot of money for doing this．
