> The old Blacksmith

An old blacksmith wanted to quit working so hard, so 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."

Every now and then, the boy would ask a question, and the old man would respond, "Don't ask me a lot of questions. 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."

And that's why the town is looking for a new blacksmith.
