The village blacksmith hired an enthusiastic new apprentice willing to work long, hard hours.
He instructed the boy, “When I take the shoe out of the fire, I’ll lay it on the anvil. When I nod my head, you hit it with the hammer.”
The apprentice did exactly as he was told, and now he’s the new village blacksmith.
Last year I entered a Halloween costume contest as Quasimodo.
I didn't win.
I have a "hunch" that I'll be "back" this year.
