There's a story about the California gold rush 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 out of the mine. All went
well at first, but then a strange thing happened. The vein of gold ore 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 succes. 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. That's
gold in you too. Do you need to dig three feet farther?
