The Words I Hate Most
There is a saying.
“Dig the ground, and will money come out?”
It is a phrase I have despised more than anything.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
I spent almost all my twenty-two years digging in the dirt.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
From elementary school through middle and high school, I helped my father with the farm.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
And from university onward, I took on whatever odd jobs I could find just to keep the household afloat.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
Even my college entrance exam scores had to be saved up to major in “High-Tech Archaeology.”__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
When I joined the army, guess what?
The 21st Infantry Division, the “Shovel” Unit.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
Out of eighty percent of the service, I was just shoveling shit.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
On the day I got discharged, I made a promise to myself.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
From now on, I would never again let dirt get under my nails or touch a shovel.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
I’d rather have signed on to a fishing boat!__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
But……__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
Inside the bus heading home, I had a revelation.__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
[Your trait is Digging’s Luck
What?__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
Now just digging the ground brings in money?__(┬┬﹏┬┬)
