I heard a funny story about a farmer who had a mule name Caesar that fell into an abandoned well fifty feet deep. The farmer really loved this old mule. When he surveyed the sit- uation, he realized there was no way to rescue old Caesar. The well was very narrow, and Caesar was crammed at the bottom. The mule had not moved or made a sound. The farmer figured Caesar had died in the fall. As much as it bothered him to give up on the mule, he was a practical farmer. He decided to leave Caesar at the bottom of the well and fill it up with dirt. The farmer called some of his friends to help shovel dirt down the well. The first shovel load of dirt woke up Caesar, who'd been knocked out. When the mule felt the next load of dirt hit his back, he realized what was going on. BUT instead of letting himself be buried, Caesar shook it off. Every time a load of dirt hit his back, the mule shook his body tossing the dirt to his hooves. He would then step out of it. Caesar kept it up. Shake and step. Shake and step. After nearly an hour of shoveling dirt, the farmer and his helpers were stunned to see Caesar's ears appear at the top of the well. It was then that they realized the mule was not dead so they kept shoveling until the old mule stepped out of the well and walked to freedom.
