根据下面短文回答下列问题。
There was once a farmer (农夫) who lived near a road. Near the farm gate, there was a large hole (洞,坑) in the road. This hole was always full of water, and the drivers of the ears could not see how deep (深的) the hole was. Then when they drove into the hole, they could not drive out because it was so deep.
The farmer did not spend much time working on his farm. He spent most of it watching the hole. When a car drove into it, he pulled (拖,拉) the car out with his tractor (拖拉机) and got a lot of money from the driver for doing this.
One day, the driver of a car said to him, "You must make a lot of money pulling cars out of the this hole night and day."
"Oh, no," the farmer said. "I don’t pull cars out of the hole at night. At night I fill the hole with water."
