+# 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.
+
+## Rust Installation
+
+Refer to the [exercism help page][help-page] for Rust installation and learning
+resources.
+
+## Writing the Code
+
+Execute the tests with:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test
+```
+
+All but the first test have been ignored. After you get the first test to
+pass, open the tests source file which is located in the `tests` directory
+and remove the `#[ignore]` flag from the next test and get the tests to pass
+again. Each separate test is a function with `#[test]` flag above it.
+Continue, until you pass every test.
+
+If you wish to run all ignored tests without editing the tests source file, use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test -- --ignored
+```
+
+To run a specific test, for example `some_test`, you can use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test
+```
+
+If the specific test is ignored use:
+
+```bash
+$ cargo test some_test -- --ignored
+```
+
+To learn more about Rust tests refer to the [online test documentation][rust-tests]
+
+Make sure to read the [Modules][modules] chapter if you
+haven't already, it will help you with organizing your files.
+
+## Further improvements
+
+After you have solved the exercise, please consider using the additional utilities, described in the [installation guide](https://exercism.io/tracks/rust/installation), to further refine your final solution.
+
+To format your solution, inside the solution directory use
+
+```bash
+cargo fmt
+```
+
+To see, if your solution contains some common ineffective use cases, inside the solution directory use
+
+```bash
+cargo clippy --all-targets
+```
+
+## Submitting the solution
+
+Generally you should submit all files in which you implemented your solution (`src/lib.rs` in most cases). If you are using any external crates, please consider submitting the `Cargo.toml` file. This will make the review process faster and clearer.
+
+## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests
