One day, a few years ago now, I arrived in France to look at my terrain, and lo and behold! There were four huge holes, about a meter wide and 2 meters deep. Just scattered over the land any old way. Nobody knew what they were for or who had dug them. To this day I don’t know. 

What I do know is that my neighbor with his tractor, while cutting the grass, fell into one of them, tractor and all!

And to make matters a lot worse, when he called city hall (La Mairie) to come and pull the tractor out, THEY fell into one of the other holes! O la la!

Later we used one of the holes to plant my pear tree. (The other three are still there.)
