So many precious lines in here:

First time I'm seeing a tenant who took rent from his land owner.

You are clever and insightful. I refuse to believe you are as young as you claim to be :))

This is a great story for a new year. Hold on--sometimes that's all we can do, but that's enough to get us to the next round. Holding on can be a win.

Happy New Year to you. Stay healthy. Stay positive. Be happy, or at least as happy as fortune allows.
