lucky or not

                                             BEHIND THE WORDS

PAN OUT:

There were great cooks breaking their heads to make pancakes for so long. All the cooks joined together in a place. They had planned to make pancakes individually as each differed in their opinions. Then came the climax. In some pans, the pancakes were a success. And in some other pans, the cakes were actually disasters. So thus came the  phrase  “pan out” .And we say in some cases, it panned out well and if otherwise, we say it did not pan out well. Sorry just tried whether I could successfully cheat anybody and many say I failed. Ok. No more blabbering.

Well, here is the true story. It was in the year 1848,James Wilson Marshal did some Indiana Jones work and found gold treasure literally in some part of California. Many rushed there. Some lucky ones found gold in big pieces. Ohers  had to find gold down the mountains where rivers settle down the  gold particles. They had to take soil from such places, put it in a pan, add water to it, wash it and let out the water hoping for the settlement of gold in the pan. This process is called panning. If they found gold ,they said it panned out well. If otherwise, they said it did not pan out well.c u soon with some more to share.
