She  turned around and said, ‘But there’s only three rupees. If you give them to him where’s the blanket going to come from? How are you going to getthrough these January nights in the fields! Tell him we’ll pay him after theharvest, not right now.
The Landlord has arrived give me the money you set aside so I can give it to him
”You’ve already tried. Some other plan”. Youjust tell me what other plan can be found. Is somebody going to give you ablanket! What I say is, give up this tenant farming! The work’s killing you,whatever you harvest goes to pay up the arrears. Were we born just to keeppaying off debts! Earn some money for your own belly, give up that kind offarming. I won’t give you the money, I won’t!,

The bitter truth in Halku’swords came charging at her like a wild beast. She went to the niche in thewall, took out the rupees and handed them over to Halku.Halku took the money and went outside looking as though he were tearinghis heart out and giving it away.

A dark January night. In the sky even the stars seemed to be shivering. Atthe edge of his field, underneath a shelter of cane leaves, Halku lay on abamboo cot wrapped up in his old burlap shawl, shivering. Underneath thecot his friend, Jabra the dog, was whimpering with his muzzle pressed intohis belly. Neither one of them was able to sleep.Halku curled up drawing his knees close against his chin and said
Cold Jabra aren't youDidn’t I tell you, in the house you could lie in the paddy straw! Sowhy did you come out here!, Now you’ll have to bear the cold, there’snothing I can do. You thought I was coming out here to eat puris and sweetsand you came running on ahead of me. Now you can moan all you want.’
Jabra wagged his tail without getting up.
You have to put up with just one more cold night. Tomorrow I’ll spreadsome straw. When you bed down in that you won’t feel the cold.’
