myfees and expenses as well.

So, it's a farm...
- with a house. - Yes, Emilio's house.
The poor man could no longerwork. But we let him stay anyway.
Poorman...
- Are there people in the house? - No.
Let me explain. An elderly couple owned the house.
Really nice people but with no children.
And one day she died...
in March, April.
And he just fell to pieces.
He died two orthree months later.
They found him in his bed afterten days.
Imagine that...
Anyway, the house isn't worth much.
The important thing is the land.
It's 35 soy quintals, outside of town.
Emilio, happy birthday! Yours forever, Mabel.

Take them with you.
