    the blacksmith presents long ago. But they do not do so now.
    It is told that the local blacksmith once made his own horse-shoe nails out of bars of iron.
    In the winter evenings the men of the village gather into the forge and tell stories, or talk over the day's happenings. Our forge has never figured in any historical events.
