The Old Blacksmith

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 set 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.
