One with a deed

Once upon a time, there was a small village in the heart of the forest where everyone lived peacefully. One day, a wise old man came to the village with a large map and a pile of deeds. He called all the villagers together and declared that he was going to divide the village into plots of land and give a deed to each family that agreed to take responsibility for their land.

All the families agreed, and soon they had their own pieces of the village to call their own. They quickly went to work building their homes, planting their gardens, and tending to their livestock. But one family stood out among the rest. They were constantly working on their land, putting up fences to keep their animals in, and building a sturdy barn.

The other villagers admired their hard work and dedication, and soon everyone began referring to them as ‘One with a deed’. As the years went by, the family continued to prosper, and their land grew bigger and better with each passing year. They were the envy of the village, and everyone wanted to know their secret to success.

Little did the other villagers know, the family’s secret was simply that they took their responsibility as an owner very seriously. They knew that owning land was a privilege and that they needed to care for it properly if they wanted it to thrive. They took great pride in their work, and it showed in the quality of their land.

So the next time someone pops ‘One with a deed’ as a crossword clue, you know the answer is OWNER. A person who understands that ownership is a responsibility and not just a title.
