Agricultural leases came to an end at Hop tu Naa, the end of the agricultural year. New ones began Laa Souney. With the change of calendar in 1752, that became Shenn Laa Souney, the modern calendar's 12th November. On the South Side of the Island, possession had to be taken on or before Shenn Laa'l Catreeney (modern 6th December). On the North Side, the date was Shenn Laa'l Andreays (corresponding to 11th December).  Our story in Manx is about a girl called Leilani, exotically enticing to another girl at a private Catholic school in California. This translation is from the story by Kesia Alexandra, an African-American mother and teacher from Washington DC.
