New

[marval]

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 laid it on the anvil. "Get the hammer over there," he said.

"When I nod my head, hit it really good and hard."

Now the town is looking for a new blacksmith.

Laurel and Hardy 1950?

Possibly, I don't know.

More like 1920 methinks!

Just about my era
