WNP:  1/25/13    The gardeners shovel hit something solid...


Nuchii and Chico walked across the lawn to the spot where they would plant the young sapling.  Looking up at the sky, they noticed that clouds were gathering and the sunny day had now become overcast. 
Nuchii said to Chico, "We gotta hurry, looks like rain."
"I don't care about the rain, I wanna get this job done, now," said Chico as he too looked up at the ominous clouds that threatened rain.
Walking to the dilapidated shed, they gathered the shovel and spade.
Looking at the spade, Nuchii asked, "what're we gonna do with this?"
"You're gonna help babe, two can work faster than one."
They both shoved their shovels into the soil where the tree would go.  Hard at first, it became easier to shovel and they tossed the dirt in a pile.  Stopping to stretch out her back, Nuchii wasn't keeping up her end and Chico is irritated but remains silent.  He continues to dig working off his anger at Nuchii.
About two feel down, there was a loud clunk, he hit something solid. He tried again, again, the same dull clunk.
They eagerly fell to their knees and reached into the hole with their bare hands and began to remove the dirt.  "There's something down there," said Nuchii.  She was barely able to contain her excitement.
"I wonder what it is," asked Chico, "think maybe there's a hidden treasure?"
