He was a high school teacher for 27 years and used to ask his students to bring stories from their families, and this is one of them. This fellow in the story was kind of a pest and when the blacksmith saw him coming he put a hot horseshoe on top of the pile. The fellow came into the shop and dropped it quickly. "Was it too hot?" the blacksmith asked. "No," the fellow said. "It just doesn't take me long to a a horseshoe."
