He made the iron in an hour, and he folded the iron so it would hold the oak, and he rubbed the iron with grease, and he set the iron on the bench, and he said, "The wheel goes on the iron." "I will take the iron," said Peth. "You will take the iron," said Hobb. "I will carry the iron," said Brin. "You will carry the iron," said Hobb.
