An old blacksmith realized he
was soon going to quit working so hard. He picked out a strong young man to
become his apprentice.
The old fellow was crabby and exacting.
"Don't ask me a lot of questions," he told the boy. "Just do whatever I tell you
to do."
One day the old blacksmith took an iron out of the forge and
laid it on the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he said. "When I nod my head,
hit it real good and hard." Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.
