Change The Meaning Contest - The Gold Mine

It's been a while since I posted anything on my blog except for countless translation contribution posts, so I thought it would be a good idea to freshen my blog up a little.

Besides, I just couldn't miss the chance to participate in this amazing contest my dear @suesa is currently running.

If you still don't know what is it about, make sure to check it out here.

Let's just go quickly through the rules:

• Make a post that contains the original headline and picture, with a link to the article and a short summary
• Change the picture but keep the headline. Provide a new summary for your changed story. Remember to provide a source for the new picture.
• Tag it with suesa-ctmc (stands for “suesa – change the meaning contest”, tag position doesn’t matter).
• Leave a Comment under the contest post with the link to your post.

My entry for Change The Meaning Contest

Original article, Express

Summary: A guy was talking a walk in his large property in Brisbane, Australia, which he purchased three years ago, when all of the sudden he stumbled upon a mine shaft, for which he realized it was an entrance to a gold mine.

Summary: A. D. from Brisbane, Australia admitted that he doesn't have a habit of picking his nose, and that he considers it to be gross. During one sunny day, he decided to take a stroll around his large garden, and after a long walk he decided to take a rest on the bench. Suddenly, an idea crossed his mind, an unstoppable urge to check the content of his nasal cavity appeared. After making sure that no one's around, he started to dig in. He felt like he has struck gold. He was absolutely amazed by the varieties of shapes and sizes of "gold" he found in there, after breathing in all the dust and pollen from the fresh spring air. He was wondering why he hasn't performed this extremely fun activity before. Scientists from MIT even say that eating this precious content might be good for your health. That gave him an idea...

There, I hope I left you amused rather than disgusted. Both is fine as well :)

Until next time, keep digging posting!
