در بخشی از کتاب Some Advice From Kalila and Demna (پندهایی از کلیله و دمنه) می‌خوانیم:

A man used to go to the desert every day and collected firewood and took them to the city to sell. He had a simple life. He was alone and did not a family.

One day he looked at the collected firewood. It was enough for that day. Then he should have gone to the city to sell all of them. He put the firewood on his back and headed towards the city.

He saw a shadow from far. First it was unclear. The shadow was moving fast. He paid attention to it more carefully to see what it really was. The shadow was coming closer and closer. It became clear little by little. This time he paid attention more. Wow! It was a camel that had stampeded and was running towards him madly. The camel was nearly crushing him. The man was scared to death. He did not know what to do or where to go. The camel was approaching to him. He started to run away. The firewood on his back was heavy. He had to drop it down or the camel could reach him easily.

He was running and the camel was chasing him. All at once, he saw a well which he saw it on his way every day. He thought for a second. Yes! He should have entered the well. It was his only choice. So, he could get rid of that mad camel. He then could climb up the well, take his firewood and sell them in the city.

He went into the well slowly and carefully and grabbed two branches which had been grown at the mouth of the well and then he hung down the well. He was suspended there, so he caught the branches more tightly. They were just like a tie between his death and his life.
