	The tradition of shoeing the unshoeable is well established ~~through~~ Roundworld history, starting with St. Dunstan, X century English bishop. Being a hands-on man of cloth, he was once working in his forge when the Devil decided to pay a visit; Dunstan grabbed him by the nose with his tongs and shoed him. Also, there is a popular Russian XIX century novella "The tale of squint-eyed Lefty from Tula and the steel flea" where the eponymous character, self-taught craftsman from the Russian coutryside, is called upon by the Tsar to one-up the miraculous dancing clockwork flea from England; he and his team hole up in their shed for a month and then present their work - the same flea, with the mechanism seemingly broken, as it can no longer dance. However, upon an examination through a microscope it is discovered that the flea has been shoed with golden shoes, with Lefty himself providing the nails.
