Join us on a captivating journey of 'Everything I Do is Good in My Wife's Eyes,' a heartwarming story of devotion, loyalty, and the transformative power of love.
A humble farmer and his loving wife lived in a small, isolated farm nestled in the mountains. One day, a fierce storm ravaged their home, destroying the roof. To repair it, they decided to sell their only donkey. As the farmer journeyed to the market, he met a stranger who offered to trade his horse for the donkey. The farmer agreed, thinking the horse would be a great asset for plowing their fields.
However, he soon discovered that the horse was blind. Despite this, the farmer's kind nature shone through as he gently caressed the horse and said, "Poor thing, it must be painful to move on this rocky road without seeing."
The farmer continued on his way, and soon traded the horse for a cow. But to his dismay, he found that the cow had a hind leg shorter than the other. Undeterred, he traded the cow for a goat, only to discover that the goat was sick. A kind veterinarian offered to take the goat in exchange for a rooster.
As the farmer's day wore on, he sold the rooster for a coin and bought a hearty meal. But just as he was about to eat, a hungry beggar appeared, and the farmer selflessly gave him the food. The beggar, touched by the farmer's kindness, asked about his day and was told about the series of trades.
The beggar remarked, "Your wife will be terribly mad at you," but the farmer reassured him, "Everything I do is good in my wife's eyes." The beggar smiled and said, "If that's true, you're a blessed man."
When the farmer returned home, he told his wife about the day's events, expecting her to be upset. But to his delight, she responded with kindness and understanding, finding a silver lining in each trade. She praised her husband's decisions, saying that the horse would be useful for plowing, the cow would provide fresh milk, the goat's milk would be nutritious, and even the rooster's song would wake them up with the sun.
The next morning, the farmer opened the door to find a surprising gift: the original donkey, the horse (now revealed to be not blind), the cow (with both legs intact), the healthy goat, the beautiful rooster, and a shiny silver coin. His wife smiled and snuggled against him, asking, "Who was this beggar to whom you gave your meal?" The farmer's kindness had been rewarded in the most unexpected way, and he realized that his wife's love and trust were the greatest blessings of all.
