The hardworking blacksmith（铁匠）Jones used to work all day in his shop．The son of Mr．Smith，a rich neighbor，used to come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enioy himself watching how the tradesman worked．
“Young man，why don’t you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks（铁钉），even if it is Only to pass the time?” said the blacksmith．“Who knows，one day，it may be of use to you．”
The lazy boy began to see what he could do．But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks．
Old Mr．Smith died and the son lost all his goods because of the war．He had to leave home and was forced to live in another country．It so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted，because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes．
Our young Mr．Smith，who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers．He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop．The shoemakers were only too glad for the offer．And after a while，young Mr．Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village．
