Ok, watching my bro in minecraft, he saw 2 pieces of gold. Next to a lavafall and waterfall, making a neat natural cobblestone generator. He tries to block up the lava to mine the gold safely. With wood. Wood catches fire and lava overflows becoming more powerful. He is pushed further in the cavern, (Already far underground) and blocks it off with the last of his cobblestone.
Attempts to mine gold, and realises that he doesn't have an iron pickaxe. He needed to get wood to make a crafting table, to make a furnace, to smelt his iron, to make an iron pickaxe, to mine the gold. He realises he only has one wood. With horror, he turns to the lavafall, and realises he has to collect the last unburnt wood without letting the lava overflow in his small safe pocket of the cave.
After many close calls and repeated swearing, he manages to salvage three wooden planks. He then makes a crafting table. Swears about not having sticks. Horrofied to realise he needs wood to make them. Then realises he has exactly enough sticks in his inventory.
Makes furnace, smelts iron and makes pickaxe, all the while fighting off the encroaching lavafall(s). after running out of cobblestone, puts down wool to block of lava. Wool catches fire. He swears and replaces the wool after a near death from overflowing.

PART 2 All the time he is nearly falling down a hole, being pushed by water. He finally blocks off the water and with a triumphant cry mines the gold! Then lava flows in through the hole made by mining the gold. It is swiftly blocked off. He begins to mine the exit, and realises with horror that by blocking off the water he has displaced it in a way to make the entire exit a infinite cobblestone generator.
He swears and turns to the hole he nearly fell in on a regular basis. With no torches, he is all the time burning things in his furnace to provide light. After some time trying to escape, he goes down the hole and discovers he has been here before!

PART 3 He explores his abandoned mine to find that this is one of his infamous no exit mines. (He mines directly down, so that there is no need for torches when the sun is shining, and collects any ores before placing cobble under him and jumping until he is on the surface. He has often been kicked from servers when people fall down his mines before he has blocked them off. They usually are very deep and they invariably die.)
He finds one unmined lapis lazuli, and mines it, and falls down into a cavern. With no options, he tread on into the dark. Suddenly swearing and realising that he had left an ore in the furnace. With a swift inventory check, he discovers the ore left is the gold. Making all this effort invalid.
Extremely displeased, and with no way of heading back up, he continues, and nearly falls of a ledge into a lava lake.

PART 4 Can just barely see, on the other side of the lake of lava, a waterfall making a bed of obsidian. He realises the is probably the safest area to be, and jumps from ledge to ledge until he arrives safely. With his last remaining wool (only placeable blocks he had left), he blocks off the obsidian so the waterfall will not push him to a firey doom.
He looks around and spots redstone. Being the miner he is, he does everything in his power to abandon his only save haven in the lake of lava and reach it. He mines it and it falls in a second lava lake, nearly taking him with it. He then mined more cobblestone, perhaps with the hopes of jump-placing his way out, and discovers a cavern above him. He decides it is a good idea, and goes up and notices with joy the absence of lava!

PART 5 After finding and promptly mining several veins of redstone, He notices a natural light not made by lava. He looks up and sees with visible joy, a way out. He looks back and sees with even more visible joy, the first diamonds he could collect on this world. He couldn't decide, leave now, and possibly lose the cave and never find the diamond, or take one more risk before leaving. He couldn't resist, deciding "what's one block gonna do?"
He walks over carefully, and begins to dig his first diamond for this world. You could see the ideas of what he would build with it flashing through his mind, and his hopes about the size of the deposit. He mines the wall around it, to ensure there is blocks underneath and no lava lakes underneath. He realises there is blocks under it. He considers it safe and begins to mine.

PART 6, Final He had forgotten to check directly behind the block of diamond. As he finished mining the block, it falls backwards, down a hole. It lands on a ledge, near the lava lake. He makes his final desicion, turning his back on the exit. Thinking he could make the jump, he dives after it, and hears the pop he had dreamed to hear, signalling he had picked up the diamond. He closed his eyes and had a solemn moment. He then heard a burning noise. He opened his eyes with such rage, that the mountains of the world would tremble before his gaze.
He had caught the diamond, but missed the ledge. He plunged into the lake of fire and died within instants. A single tear dripped down his face, and he immediately rage-quitted.
THE END

It sounds a bit like how once, my friend told me that he was harvesting cactus's (or whatever) and then fell down an infinate length hole, to the bedrock...
Not sure if i believe him.
But cool story though!

Update, while walking around, he found a glitch. A squid had spawned on a hill. It spawned with no water, and was floating in the air. He then hit it, and it flew away, using it's swim animation.
Later, he found a zombie, skeleton and creeper, hanging out. He approached, and they went into attack mode. After a few seconds, the skeleton started shooting the zombie, and ended up killing him, then he shot the creeper, which blew up, killing the skeleton. They had done his job for him.
