Every day life of Muni and his wife realistically portrays a tiny South Indian village in A Horse And Two Goats.
Explanation:
The story "A Horse And Two Goats" revolves around the lives of Muni and his wife. A foreigner is also introduced in the story who presents the picture of the colonial rule in India. Muni and his wife lives a life in poverty but are emotionally rich. On the other hand, the foreigner stands wealthy when the question of money and wealth comes, but he witnesses a loss in the emotional aspect of his life. The story highlights the shift in the nature of colonial rule. It was the era that witnessed a shift from the colonialism to neo-colonialism.

Answer:
Muni and his wife live in poverty in a remote Indian village. In his prosperous days, Muni had forty sheep and goats. Now in his old age, Muni has just two goats. Each day he takes his goats out to graze to avoid a wife whose temper was "undependable" in the morning. When he returns, his wife will have prepared a simple meal for him. Life is harsh for Muni and his wife, yet they are surviving. He thinks that he controls the home. The reader knows that his wife does--she will go out to work and "conjure" up a meal. He does not know how she does it, but she always does.
This elderly couple have no children to help them in their old age. Because of this, the village looks down on Muni. He has so often been humiliated that he can barely raise his eyes to face the townspeople. To hide his humiliation, he even lies to a shopman and tells that he has a daughter in another town.
Muni fears his wife, but he also know that she will in the end take care of him.
