California Gold Rush Story
There's a California gold rush story that tells of two brothers who sold all they had and went prospecting for gold
They discovered a vein of the shining ore, staked a claim, and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold ore of the mine
All went well at first, but then a strange thing happened
The vein of gold disappeared! They had come to the end of the rainbow, and the pot of gold was no longer there
The brothers continued to pick away, but without success
Finally, they gave up in disgust
They sold their equipment and claim rights for a few hundred dollars, and took the train back home
Now the man who bought the claim hired an engineer to examine the rock strata of the mine
The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same spot where the former owners had left off
And three feet deeper, the new owner struck gold
A little more persistence and the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves
There is gold in you, too
Do you need to dig three feet farther?
