# Proverb For want of a horseshoe nail, a kingdom was lost, or so the saying goes. Given a list of inputs, generate the relevant proverb. For example, given the list `["nail", "shoe", "horse", "rider", "message", "battle", "kingdom"]`, you will output the full text of this proverbial rhyme: ```text For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. For want of a rider the message was lost. For want of a message the battle was lost. For want of a battle the kingdom was lost. And all for the want of a nail. ``` Note that the list of inputs may vary; your solution should be able to handle lists of arbitrary length and content. No line of the output text should be a static, unchanging string; all should vary according to the input given. ## Running the tests To run the tests run the command `go test` from within the exercise directory. If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench` flag: go test -bench . Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary. ## Further information For more detailed information about the Go track, including how to get help if you're having trouble, please visit the exercism.io [Go language page](http://exercism.io/languages/go/about). ## Source Wikipedia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Want_of_a_Nail](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/For_Want_of_a_Nail) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
