The Story-teller

The elder brother rode to the king's court just as he had said he would; and as time went on he won great honor there and was made one of the king's counselors. And the younger brother built himself a blacksmith's shop by the side of a road and worked there merrily from early morn till the stars shone at night. He was called the Mighty Blacksmith because of his strength, and the Honest Blacksmith because he charged no more than his work was worth, and the Master Blacksmith because no other smith in the countryside could shoe a horse so well and speedily as he.
