It is a great story, and I'm sorry to ruin the happiness of the story, but the farmer was going to bury the donkey alive!!! It's lucky he decided to do that, since the donkey wouldn't have been rescued had he done that, but I'm put off that he'd be willing to do that, even if the well had to be filled, anyway. Just sayin'.
