Such a CUTE book! The two boys decide to dig a hole, and they make up different strategies as they go; readers can see (but not read about) diamonds the boys miss as they dig. In the end they fall out of the hole, back to their house, and they remark it was "spectacular." I love that the book was a classic "kid" trope - digging a hole - with a funny twist and cute message.
