[00:16.43]They discovered a vein of the shining ore ,staked a claim [00:20.85] and proceeded to get down to the serious business of getting the gold ore out of the mine. [00:26.53]All went well at first, [00:28.61]but then a strange thing happened. [00:31.13] The vein of gold ore disappeared! [00:33.86] They had come to the end of the rainbow, [00:36.38]and the pot of gold was no longer there. [00:39.42] The brothers continued to pick away, but without success. [00:44.01]Finally, they gave up in disgust. [00:47.29]They sold their equipment and claim rights for a few hundred dollars, [00:51.63] and took the train back home. [00:53.71]Now the man who bought the claim hired an engineer to examine the rock strata of the mine. [01:00.05] The engineer advised him to continue digging in the same spot [01:04.35]where the former owners had left off. [01:06.87]And three feet deeper, the new owner struck gold. [01:11.03]A little more persistence and the two brothers would have been millionaires themselves. [01:16.28]That’s gold in you too. Do you need to dig three feet farther? |
