Summary
A farmer's son went to find a wife. He happened on a couple who had one daughter, who was as domineering as her mother. He married the girl and set off home. On the way, he killed his dog and horse since they did not obey his commands. Thus, the girl was subdued. The girl's mother came to visit, and her son-in-law gave her a hiding. She returned home and promised her husband that she would never treat him badly again.
