Chapter 4: Heigh-Ho
In a cave deep in the mountains, seven children were working to get some precious stones to be able to survive in the world. Inspired by Starfleet, they dressed in miniature Starfleet outfits.
The leaders were ten-year-old children named Leonard "Bones" McCoy, Spock, Nyota Uhura, and James Tiberius Kirk. Right under them was a nine-year-old known as Hikaru Sulu and an eight-year-old named Carol Marcus. At the bottom of the chain of command was a seven-year-old named Pavel Chekov. To make things go by quicker, and to stop Dick from complaining, they sang a work song, which only Bones objected to.
We dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig
In our mine the whole day through.
To dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig
Is what we have to do.
"It's not a trick." Spock said as he used his Vulcan strength to easily cut through the walls. "You get rich quick."
"If you dig-dig-dig with a shovel or a pick." Bones said as he dug out a diamond the size of Albert Einstein's brain.
"In a mine." Hikaru said as his echo repeated, "In a mine."
"In a mine!" Nyota repeated as she liked the way the echo sounded. "In a mine!"
Where a million diamonds…
Shine!
As they blinked in wonder, Carol was driving a cart while she was reading a book called The Once and Future King.
We dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig
From morning until night.
Carol saw a fly buzzing around and smashed him.
We dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig-dig
Up everything in sight.
Carol then dropped the diamonds in front of Jim, who used a hammer to see how good the diamonds were. If they weren't good, he'd toss them on the floor.
We dig up diamonds by the score.
Diamonds rubies sometimes more.
And we're not sure what we dig them for.
We dig-dig-diggity-dig.
Pavel's job was to sweep up the rejects and throw them in a landfill. As he watched Jim observe a very large diamond, he picked up two of them. A few minutes later, he tugged on Jim's sleeve, and he turned around to see Dick with the diamonds in his eyes. Jim then knocked the diamonds out with a slight thump on the head.
Jim then looked at the clock to see that it was already five in the afternoon.
"Heigh-ho!" Jim called as a way to sound the end of the day.
"Heigh-ho!" Everyone called back to show they heard. They then headed back home.
Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho! Heigh-ho!
They then walked off with about three diamonds each to tide them over for a while.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
It's home from work we go.
The rest of the diamonds were then put into a safe as Pavel put the key in his pocket to keep safe until the next day.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
It's home from work we go.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho, hum.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
It's home from work we go.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
It's home from work we go.
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho,
Heigh-ho. Heigh-ho.
It's home from work we go.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho, heigh-ho.
Heigh-ho.
Yeah, that's what I'm using for the dwarves. Deal with it.
No flaming if you don't like it by the way.
