Jacob Rolls the Well Stone as Easily as a Bottle Stopper

Yalkut Shimoni on Torah 124:2

"And he drew near and rolled the stone" (Genesis 29:10) — like a man who removes the stopper from the mouth of a flask. ("And Jacob kissed Rachel" — every kiss is for frivolity except for three, and so forth, up to "And Rachel came with the sheep.")
