78 the clever donkey 聪明的驴

one day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. the animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.
有一天，农夫的驴掉进了井里。在农夫想办法的时候，可怜的驴叫了好几个小时。

finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn’t worth it to retrieve the donkey.
最后，农夫决定，驴已经老了，反正井也需要填平；把驴救出来不太值得了。

he invited all his neighbors to come over and help him. they all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
他请了所有的邻居来帮忙。他们都抄起铲子，开始往井里填土。
