What the Old Man Does Is Always Right

In the quiet countryside, an old couple lived in an old farmhouse, whose only valuable possession was a horse. One fair day, the wife sent her husband to town to sell or trade it for something useful, trusting his judgment completely. On the way, the old peasant made a series of surprising exchanges, from the horse to a sack of rotten apples, believing each trade would bring him profit and make his wife happy, as she always believed that her husband did everything right. Hearing this, two Englishmen made a wager on the wife’s reaction. What bet would they place? Would the wife meet the peasant’s expectations? How can every decision, no matter the outcome, be met with praise? Read this delightful tale to discover the charm and wisdom behind the saying: “What the old man does is always right.”
