January Night

Munni, get the money. The landlord is here for the rent.
No! How are you going to buy a blanket if you pay the rent?
Don't worry. I'll figure out another way to get the blanket. Please give me the money or else I will have to face the landlord's threats and insults.
All right fine, I will give the money. Please give up tenant farming and work as a hired laborer to at least feed your belly.
Halku asked Munnie for three rupees to pay the rent to the landlord.
Munnie refused to pay him at first, but his words came charging at her like a bull, so she agreed.
Halku felt as though he was tearing his heart out when he was going to pay his rent. He was burdened by his poverty.
Halku slept in the cold fields, with his dog, Jabra, during the night to protect his harvest.
Halku and Jabra went to the mango grove next to his field and built a fire to keep themselves warm.
Jabra started barking, indicating that some wild animals were destroying the fields. But, Halku was too comfortable so he did not bother getting up.
