The Cavity

The Cavity I know of a man, who was digging in his field, he had seen China on a map and wanted to go there, and by his estimate China was just under his feet. It I was a cumbersome job and the hole was deep almost hundred feet... and then its wall collapsed- in a round hole there is only one wall- he was never seen again. For many years when someone died in the village the digger came, from it was said that so and so had gone to China. But wait the story of hopeless travail didn´t stop there. There is legend in Manchuria of a strange man who suddenly appeared in a paddy field pointing to the ground looking for a lost hole, said he wanted to go home which was impossible. Digging a hole for yourself is not a smart thing to do, because when you leave the safety of what you once knew there is no telling what you might find, a gold mine or a rice paddy.
