    this is the cause. One day when Our Lord was working in Nazareth He discovered a coun. He took it to the tinkers who denied its value. Our Lord then said he would never have a home. He next took it to a smith who agreed it was gold. Our Lord then gave him the privilege of never becoming tired. This story is still believed by many people. Smoths are always supposed to be very strong. Forges are great places for story-telling and news.
