琼斯是个非常勤劳的铁匠，常常一整天都在店里工作。他工作非常努力，有时候火花会从他的锤子下飞舞而出。邻居史密斯先生很有钱，他的儿子常常每天都来看铁匠工作。他喜欢观看这位工匠工作，并且一看就是连续几个小时。
"Young man, why don't you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks, even if it is only to pass the time?" said the blacksmith. "Who knows, one day, it may be of u to you." The lazy boy began to e 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.
“年轻人，为什么不亲自尝试一下如何制作鞋钉呢，哪怕只是为了消磨时间而已?”铁匠说，“说不准，有一天它会对你有用的。” 懒懒的孩子开始想看看自己到底能做什么。然而，仅仅经过很短的练习，他便发现自己非常熟练起来，很快他就做出了最好的鞋钉。
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, becau in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers' shoes.

园，在另外一个国家住了下来。巧的是，这个国家的这个地区，急需大量军鞋，所以这个村子里有很多鞋匠，他们总是花费很多钱购买鞋钉。有时，即使付了很高的价钱，也买不到他们想要的鞋钉。
Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time 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 ttled in his workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village. "How funny it ems," he ud to say, "even making tacks can bring a fortune. My trade is more uful to me than were all my former riches."
在这食不果腹的困难时刻，年轻的史密斯记起自己曾学过制鞋钉这门手艺，便突发奇想，想和这些鞋匠们做一个交易。他对他们说，如果他们可以帮助他成立一个店铺，他就可以做鞋钉。鞋匠们对他的这一提议欣喜若狂。很快，史密斯发现他做的鞋钉是村里面最好的。“看起来可真有趣，”他常常会说，“即便是做鞋钉也会带来财富。与我以前所有的财富相比，我现在的生意更有用，更有益。”

Some commented on his lack of education; others told him to try again later, thinking that they had got rid of him.
