Gold is a precious metal. Gold is used as ornaments or as money. Gold is
found in many places, but in a small supply. It is often found on the surface
of the earth. Since gold is a heavy substance, it is sometimes found loose on
bottom of rivers. The gold is found together with sand and rocks, and must be
separated from them. It is simple to search for this type of gold. It is not usually
necessary to drill for gold, but when a layer of gold is located deep below the
surface of the earth, it is possible to drill a hole into the ground. Engineers
have developed modern process for removing gold from rocks. Since gold is not
very hard, it is sometimes melted and added to other substances for making
rings, coins, and art objects. It will be priced forever because it is

Two Brothers
Long ago, there were two brothers called Akomi and Ombah. They were ambitious and winning. Akomi, the elder brother, said, "If we become the King's employees, we can make laws to collect more money from the people. We will become very rich."
They went to see King Aruya. Akomi said, "Your Majesty, let us be your ministers. We will make good laws. All your subjects will be happy. I am wise and clever. I know everything."
King Aruya said angrily, "That is not true! Nobody knows everything. For example, do you know how many stars there are in the sky? Guards! Throw this liar into the river of crocodiles!"
Ombah's hands trembled. Then he thought to himself, "King Aruya will also punish me if I say the wrong thing. My brother said he knew everything and his answer was wrong. So if I say the opposite, my answer will be right." Ombah then said, to King Aruya, "Your majesty, I know nothing."
King Aruya said, "That is also a lie. Nobody knows nothing, truly! Everybody knows at least something. For example, you know your father's name, don't you? Guards! Throw him into the river of crocodiles, too!"
