Despite the farmer’s best efforts to bury it, the mule 【小题9】 (resist) until it was able to climb out of the well on top of all the dirt that was thrown in after it.
The mule, despite the fact that it was 【小题10】 (constant)in a deep well, would not give up. The mule simply shook the dirt off little by little, never giving up the will to live by climbing out of the well.
