Question

One day Tom was playing with his younger brother Paul beside the well(井) near their home. Suddenly Tom fell down the well. Paul was frightened. Their parents were not at home. Their father was working in the factory and their mother was helping a neighbor. Tom called his younger brother, Paul. Paul looked at the bottom of the well and saw his brother standing in the water of the well. Tom was five feet tall and the water was only three feet deep. Paul was glad to see his brother safe in the well. Then he ran home and brought a long rope.

He was only six and not very strong, so he could not pull Tom out. He was thinking hard and finally had a good idea.

He thanked his brother first and went home to exchange his wet clothes.
