An article about family harmony

Trust is the foundation for building a harmonious family. Let’s first understand Andersen’s fairy tale "The Old Man is Always Right". The story says that the old woman asked the old man to take the horse to the market and sell it or exchange it for something. . The old man switched from cows, sheep, geese, chickens, and rotten apples. It seemed like a whim, but in fact the old man had his own ideas for every exchange, and he always considered how happy the old woman would be. In the hotel, two Englishmen learned that the old man had traded the horse for a bag of rotten apples. They thought that the old woman would scold or even hit the old man, but the old man thought that the old woman would kiss him because of it. So, two Englishmen bet the old man with a bucket of gold coins whether he would be scolded. Back home, the old man gradually told his exchange, and the old woman was actually happy every time, because the old man considered the feelings of his loved one in every exchange. If you exchange a horse for a cow, you will get milk; if you exchange a cow for a sheep, you will get goat milk and wool; if you exchange a sheep for a goose, you will not need to feed it. Swimming by the river is also a beautiful scenery, and you can also eat goose meat; if you exchange a goose for a chicken, you will get eggs, and even There will be a large group of chickens; the chickens are exchanged for rotten apples, ha, the old woman is even happier, not only because she used to regard the only apple on her tree as wealth, and was unwilling to throw away the apple even if it became rotten. Now, she went to borrow coriander nearby, People say that nothing grows in the ground, not even a rotten apple. Now, we can give him a bag of rotten apples. The old woman kissed the old man, and the two Englishmen admitted defeat, and the gold coins were naturally given to them. At the same time, they also realized that the old man and the old woman had an enviable attitude towards life, understanding each other and maintaining a happy life regardless of gains and losses.
