Jones, a hardworking blacksmith, used to work all day in his shop. So hard working was he that at times he would make the sparks fly from his   1  .

  The son of Mr. Smith, a rich   2  , would come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself   3  how the tradesman worked.

  "Young man, why don't you   4  your hand to learn to make shoe tacks,  5  it is only to pass the time?" said the blacksmith. "  6  knows, one day, it may be of use to you."

  Old Mr. Smith died and the son   9  the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to   10  residence in another country. It so   11  that in this village there were numerous shoemakers who were spending a lot of money   12  tacks for their shoes and even   13  when they paid high prices they were  14  able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.

He told them that he  17  make the tacks if they could help him to  18  a workshop. The shoemakers were   19  willing to do so. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.

  "How funny it seems," he used to say, "even making tacks can bring a   20 .My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches."
