Passage One
New York is a large American city. There are some policemen on horseback there. The New York police have about 170 horses working in certain parts of the city. The horses are expensive to feed, but it is more expensive to look after them. Because the horses must walk on the streets and they need special horseshoes. Each police horse in New York gets new shoes every month. Keeping these shoes in good repair is the job of six blacksmiths. There are only about thirty\|five blacksmiths in the whole United States. The cost of shoeing a horse is between twenty dollars and thirty\|five dollars, and it takes a good blacksmith two or three hours to do the job. He must be able to shape a shoe from a piece of metal and then fit it to the horse's foot. So a blacksmith's job is not an easy one.
