An old blacksmith relized 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.
