For a moment the blacksmith (looked/look) at him. he (brought/bring) out another shoe, which the general (brought/bring) in the same way. Then the general said, “I see it no use picking and choosing among such a trashy lot. Give me another shoe, and let me go away.

Then the blacksmith said, “I see it is no use picking and choosing such a trashy lot, give me another coin and we will say goodbye.”

The general (looked/look) at him, then burst into a laugh, “Fairly caught!”. He then said, “My man, i (promise/promised) all the money in my purse to anyone I (meet/met)stronger than myself. Here it is, it is yours. Now come along with me and serve as smith in my army. You shall not repent having met me.
