// THE PRICE FOR RICE //

"When the food runs out,
I go to the
well-to-do
of the village
and ask them if I can borrow some rice.
 I tell them,
'I will repay if I can, but if in case
 I am not able to,
you can take away my land.
But I hope you won't take away
my land.'"
(Ram Bahadur Kumal, Kewul, Gulmi)
