少儿英语小故事100字带翻译：钉子
At noon made a rest stop in a town. When he was about to continue on his way, a servant brought him his horse and said, “Sir, a nail is missing from the shoe on his left hind2 hoof3.“
　　“Let it be,“ answered the merchant. “The shoe will certainly stay on for the six hours that I still have to ride. I am in a hurry.“
　　That afternoon, when he dismounted once again and had his horse fed, a servant came into the inn and said, “Sir, a shoe is missing from your horse”s left hind hoof. Shall I take him to the blacksmith?“
　　“Let it be,“ answered the man. “The horse can manage for the few hours that I still have to ride. I am in a hurry.“
　　He rode on, but before long the horse began to limp. It did not limp long before it began to stumble, and it did not stumble long before it fell down and broke a leg. The merchant had to leave the horse where it was, and unbuckle the duffel bag, load it onto his shoulder, and walk home on foot, not arriving there until very late that night.
