【题目】 Michael was a blacksmith(铁匠). He worked all day in his shop. His neighbor Mr. Smith was hard-working and rich, but his son Jason did nothing every day. Every day he came to Michael’s shop and for hours and hours he would watch how Michael worked.

“Young man, why don't you try your hand at learning how to make shoe tacks(鞋钉), even if it is only to pass the time?” said Michael. “Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you.”

The lazy boy began to see what he could do. After a little practice he found that he had a gift for it and soon he made some of the finest tacks.

Many years later, Mr. Smith died and Jason lost everything because of a war. He had to leave home and go to another country. There were lots of shoe makers in the new village where he lived. They were paying a lot of money for tacks of their shoes, but they were not always able to get what they wanted.

For a long time, Jason found it difficult to have his daily bread in the village. One day, he remembered that once upon a time he learned the art of making tacks. Then he had the idea of making a bargain(交易) with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help him set up a shop. The shoemakers were very glad about the offer. And soon Jason found that he was making the finest tacks in the village.
