- Story
Once there lived a man who suffered with a toothache. He was going around from house to house groaning with pain and could get no cure. He was going along the road one day and he met a blacksmith.
The blacksmith said he would get a cure for him if he came to the forge. Off they went to the forge. The blacksmith tied the tooth to the anvil with a cord and he also had a red iron in the fire. He began telling him a story so that he would forget everything. Suddenly he put the iron on the anvil and hit it with a hammer. The man pulled his head and left the tooth after him. He got no more pain.
