The character Uncle Khosrove in "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse" is a very intense person who doesn't care a pin about people's feeling while speaking, but he is a man with a typical views upon the problems of life. When he shouts at the horse owner, John Byro: "Haven't we all lost the homeland?" and "I spit on money.", he might be thinking to himself about money beyond comfort and possessions are
not important, considering life is short and goes by fast. He also thinks about those who give live happily with no regret; but, those who conscientiously try to take have never enough and always line up in despair.

Uncle Khosrove lost his homeland. Therefore, he lost everything that he thinks important in his life. In his mind, there are no more important and urgent things anymore, so when his son said his house is on fire, and his friend said the loss of a horse, he shouts “It’s no harm:pay no attention to it.” When he repeats these words, he feels frustration and homesick.

In "The summer of the beautiful white horse," Uncle Khosrove seems like a very serious but bitter man who is sad to find that he has lost his homeland. In the confrontation with the farmer, Uncle Khosrove says, "I spit on money." I think Khosrove is thinking that there are more important things to worry about in life then money and wealth.
