原文
Uncle Abe waded out to the blacksmith's forge early in the morning and
spent the whole day there. It was Uncle Abe's hour of triumph and he
enjoyed it to the full. It would be doing Uncle Abe an injustice to say
that he was glad the storm had happened; but since it had to be he was
very glad he had predicted it . . . to the very day, too. Uncle Abe forgot
that he had ever denied setting the day. As for the trifling discrepancy
in the hour, that was nothing.
