What’s the Hans Christian Anderson story about a farmer and his wife…kind of an emergency, details inside
I need to find out which Hans Christian Anderson tale talks about a farmer, his wife and their old horse. He takes the horse to the market but ends up trading it in for different things along the way and eventually ends up with a bag of rotten apples. Does anyone know what the name of this story is? I just can’t remember…. I used to read it a lot as a kid but I don’t remember the title.
10 points to the first person able to tell me the title and perhaps find an online verson, but that’s not technically needed, just the title will be fine!
Thanks!
“What The Old Man Does Is Always Right” by Hans Christian Andersen
http://www.portitude.org/literature/andersen/ft-what_the_old_man_does.php
“…Well, there was a farmhouse just like that out in the country, and in it there lived two people, a farmer and his wife. They had few enough possessions, but still there was one they could do without, and that was a horse, which grazed along the ditch beside the highway. The old farmer used it to ride to town and lent it to his neighbors, receiving some slight services from them in return, but still it would be much more profitable to sell the horse, or at least exchange it for something that would be more useful to them.
But which should they do, sell or trade?
“You’ll know what’s best, Father,” said the wife. “It’s market day. Come on, ride off to town, and get money for the horse, or make a good bargain with it. Whatever you do is always right; so be off for the market!…”
