>>149288142who builds a well and doesn't give it a long enough rope to reach the bottom?
I'm familiar with the Aesop fable of the stork and the pitcher, but I'm not sure you can actually significantly displace ground water with rocks, so here's what I'm going with:
He ties the rope to the sleeves of his coat, the pant legs of his pants, the lanyard of his flask, and max mouse's tail together, to get a few more feet. Then lowers the winch to rest on the well rim to get another couple feet. Then he tells max "I'm not pulling you back up until that bucket is full".
