The Renter and The Pea

Can't sleep for nothing!   (Illustration by Edmund Dulac) 

Those familiar with Hans Christian Andersen may already know the angst that a single pea can cause.  But even so great a storyteller couldn’t have seen this one coming.

When a former renter neglected to clean out one last pea from the freezer, her landlord was quick to keep some of the deposit money.  True, there were a few other peccadillos, such as “a small piece of paper on the floor,” but how tough is it to pick that up?

A focus upon peace rather than peas could have been far more satisfying.
