That should not be snatched from the foe which the foe would be able to recover. One should not seek to dig at all if by digging one would not succeed in getting at the root of the thing for which one digs. One should never strike him whose head one would not cut off. A king should not always act in this way.
If you can think up some way to hide the track of the plane when it lands, it wouldn't be found here in a thousand years. But of course the marks will show " "Just what kind of marks?" "Well, the wheels themselves don't leave much of a track, and the wind fills them quick, anyway. But the drag digs in.
"Don't know," said Dig evasively; "better not stick it down, that is, not unless the list gets full up, you know." Simson treated this evasive reply as a consent, and wrote Digs name down, there and then, in his presence. "Come on, Herapath," said he, making a last appeal. "Don't desert your old friends." "I tell you I can't say anything till to-morrow," said Arthur, a little crusty.
The root of the golden tree seems always to reach down towards the centre of the earth, growing always larger; for the deeper one digs in the bowels of the mountain the larger are the grains of gold unearthed. The branches of the golden tree are in some places as slender as a thread, while others are as thick as a finger, according to the dimensions of the crevices.
Some poor miner usually finds a ledge of quartz-rock and digs down the way the ledge goes. He puts up a windlass, worked by hand, over the well-like hole he has dug out, and hoists the ore out in buckets. But he soon finds, as the hole or shaft goes deeper, that he must timber the sides to keep them from caving in, that he must have an engine to raise the ore and a mill to crush the hard rock.
He digs on in hope; sometimes finding barely enough to supply his wants, at other times making a fortune suddenly; but never giving up in despair, because he knows that at every handful of earth he turns up he may perhaps find a diamond worth hundreds, or, it may be, thousands of pounds. Cidade Diamantina, the City of Diamonds, is the capital of the province.
Jacob and dance in the waters, yelling without intermission, "Cold and hot, O my lord Yakoob! Cold and hot!" fearful lest any cessation of the cry might permit the temperature to be increased or diminished beyond the bearable point. "Who digs a pit for his brother will fall into it." Moorish Proverb.
Secure upon this point he digs up a nice lot and then fills up his dosser with two sorts of bulbous plants which secrete a glutinous substance but whose name and quality I have never found out. If he has in store some teeth of the sendok snake, or of any other equally venomous, he now returns to the village, otherwise he looks for one, kills it and possesses himself of its fangs.
Another sleigh following has to surmount the ridges, and of necessity digs down on the opposite side, and scoops out more of the snow.
"The pig is a very sagacious animal, especially in Hampshire, and so he smells out wherever the bags of money are sown underground, and digs them up with his nose.
