A boy had been annoying the busy blacksmith and the smith finally held a piece of red-hot iron under his nose, hoping to scare him away.
'If you'll give me a half a dollar I'll lick it,' said the boy.
The smith held out the coin. The simple-looking boy took the coin, licked it, dropped it in his pocket and slowly strolled away, whistling as he went.
