No, Antigone does not use a shovel to bury her brother in "Antigone" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Princess Antigone uses just her hands to bury her brother Polyneices. She says that with her sister Ismene's help she can give their brother a below-ground burial. Without her help, Antigone just has enough strength for a partial burial, whereby the body is left above ground and covered with a layer of dust.

How do you grow a money tree?

You'll need a golden shovel for this. To get a golden shovel simply have 2 silver shovels but use one to dig a hole and bury the other shovel. Dig the buried shovel up after 1 day (or more it doesn't matter). Then you will have the golden shovel! Use your golden shovel to dig a hole in the ground so you can bury 100 bells(or more, but it's a waste of bells if you bury more than 100 bells) Now it will form a little tree but you MUST water your tree when its been buried before 1 day because your tree may wither. When your tree is fully grown, there will be days where 100 bells will come out but days where nothing will come out. A money tree is the same as a normal tree, bells come out - but not all the time. Hope this helps!
