Found Horseshoes

Once upon a time, a peasant found four horseshoes. His joy knew no bounds; it was as if he had become the master of the whole world. When he returned home, he said to his wife:

"Oh, wife, I found four horseshoes. All that's left is to buy a horse. Then I will ride to the field for work every day."

"Well, husband, what happiness," replied the wife. "And I will often ride to my father's house on it." The husband grew angry and shouted:

"Ah, you wretched woman! Have you worked so much and become so tired that you need to ride to your father's house on a horse? What a foolish desire! Come on, tell me."

"I know what I'm doing," the wife snapped. "I will go to my father's house anyway..."

"Do as you please!" the husband fumed, shouting even louder, and he got into a fight with his wife.
