Old local blacksmith

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.
