Molbos wanted to dispose the dirt from the hole

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: "Once the Molbos dug a well. When thereby they got a large heap of earth left over, they consulted about what to do of this quantity of earth, which could not lie there. Then one of them suggested that they should dig a hole and put the earth therein. This immediately won everyone's applause. But a little after asked another apprehensive: "Yes, but then what should we do with it? Do we get two piles when the hole is dug?" The cleverest head between them answered: >We dig the hole so big that it can accommodate both heaps."
