What did you write?" The man said, "I only wrote the truth.I said what you said, but in a different way." What he had written was, "Today is a beautiful day, but I can' t see it."

They began to shovel dirt into the well. The donkey cried harder. But a few minutes later, he became quiet. The farmer looked into the well, and was surprised by what he saw.

As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, the donkey would shake it off and take another step up.
