Jones worked so hard that made the sparks fly from his hammer.The son of Mr.Smith, a rich neighbor, used to come to see the blacksmith and he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked."Why don't you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks?" said the blacksmith."Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you." The lazy boy began to see what he could do.But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks. 

Old Mr.Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods.He had to leave home and was forced to take up residence in another country.It so happened that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money to buy tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes. 

Young Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers.He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in his workshop.The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer."How funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a fortune.My trade is more useful to me than were all my former riches."

Jones arbetade så hårt att gnistorna flög från sin hammare.Smiths son, en rik granne, brukade komma och se smeden och han brukade roa sig med att se hur handelsmannen arbetade. "Varför försöker du inte lära dig att göra skopinnar?" sade smeden. "Vem vet, en dag, kan det vara till nytta för dig." Den late pojken började se vad han kunde göra, men efter lite träning fann han att han höll på att bli mycket skicklig och snart höll han på att göra några av de finaste dragen. Han var tvungen att flytta hemifrån och tvingades bosätta sig i ett annat land.Det hände så att det i denna by fanns många skomakare som spenderade mycket pengar på att köpa skor och även ibland när de betalade höga priser kunde de inte alltid få vad de ville ha, eftersom det i den delen av landet fanns en stor efterfrågan på soldatskor. Den unge Smith, som hade svårt att förtjäna sitt dagliga bröd, kom ihåg att han hade lärt sig konsten att göra tackor och fick den plötsliga idén att göra ett fynd med skomakarna.Han berättade för dem att han skulle göra tackjärnen om de skulle hjälpa till att få honom i sin verkstad.Skomakarna var bara alltför glada över erbjudandet. "Hur lustigt det verkar", brukade han säga, "även att göra knep kan ge en förmögenhet.Min handel är mer användbar för mig än alla mina tidigare rikedomar." 1. Vem arbetar hårt? 2.
