The farmer peered down into the well, and was astounded by what he saw.With every shovel-full of dirt that hit his back, the donkey would shake it off and take a step up on the new layer of dirt.

农夫向井里望去，他被眼前的景象惊呆了：每当有一锹土落在驴背上的时候，它就会把土抖掉，踩在脚下。

The farmer then grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.

于是，农夫拿起铲子，开始向井里面填土。

The farmer secretly hid the yellow dirt which was picked up by the roadside.

这个农民把在路边捡到的黄金悄悄地藏了起来。

But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling and the dirt hit his back a thought struck him.

但是当农夫和他的邻居们不停铲土，泥土打到它背上时，老骡有了个想法。

The farmer burned away the grass from the old dirt road.

农夫把旧泥路上的草烧掉了。
