Finding The “Gold”

Walking underneath the towering trees while the sound of chirping birds echoes throughout the park, Dave saw something nestled underneath some twigs. He walks over and picks it up. When he does his mouth drops. It was a rock but it wasn’t just any rock. It looked just like gold! Dave was lost for words! He knew he had to take it home.
Once back at his home, Dave got to work trying to break the “gold” apart. He tried everything he could think of, but the thing was incredibly sturdy! He even hit it with a sledgehammer, which failed to scratch its surface. “Where did I go from here?” thought Dave before letting out a sigh.
