- There was once a man who was very bad with toothache so he decided to go to the blacksmith to get the tooth drawn. He went into the gorge and told to the blacksmith who immediately put bit of iron into the fire . He then got a string and tied one end of it to the anvil and the other end to the man's tooth. He took the red hot iron out of the fire and put it suddenly up near the man's nose. The man not knowing what the blacksmith was going to do gave a start and jumped back leaving the tooth on the end of the string.
