He invited all of his neighbors to come over and help him．They all began to fill the well with dirt（污土）．The donkey realized what was happening and began to cry．Then，to everyone's surprise，it became quiet．
A few minutes later，the farmer finally looked down the well．He was surprised at what he saw．With each shovel（鏟） of the dirt that hit its back，the donkey shook it off and took a step up．
As the farmer's neighbors went on to shovel dirt on top to the animal，he still shook it off and took a step up．Pretty soon，the donkey happily got out．
