    Our Local Forge is about three miles from here. The blacksmith is a very strong man. The blacksmith makes ploughs and harrows and he makes shoes and for horses and donkeys. He has a lot of implements such as an anvil sledges, hamerrs, files, and other things. He has a big fire in the middle of the forge and he blows it a bellows. There is always a double door in the forge.
