Christ dressed like a simple and poor blacksmith and came to ask for employment in eloi's workshop. Jesus forged an iron much better than that of eloi. Having seen a horse waiting to be shod, jesus cuts off its leg, places it on the anvil, puts down the shoe, then reattaches the leg to the horse which appears not to have noticed anything. In anger eloi takes up this challenge, cuts off another leg of the horse and prepares to put a shoe on it. But this time the horse was bleeding and whinnied in pain. Jesus miraculously stopped the bleeding before putting the leg back in place. Eloi capitulates, he takes his hammer and breaks his sign saying: whoever you are, you are the master and I am the companion christ says: happy is he who humbles himself eloi finally understands with whom he is dealing and prostrates do not hesitate to look at all my ads very careful shipping with bubble wrap for shipments outside france, contact me for the price.
