One of my favourite short form stories is the one told by Leo Tostoy.
It's called "How much land does a man need."
It tells the story of a peasant named Pahom, who believes that if he only had enough land, he wouldn’t fear anything—not even the devil.
Here's how it goes:
Pahom lives a simple life but envies landowners. When he finally gets the chance to buy some land, he feels satisfied… briefly.
Soon, he wants more. And when he gets more, he still isn’t content. The more land he acquires, the more greedy and restless he becomes.
One day, he hears of a distant group of people- the Bashkirs— who are willing to sell land at a very cheap rate.
This is where it gets interesting:
Their deal is simple:
For a fixed price, you can have as much land as you can walk around in a single day.
But there’s a catch — you must return to your starting point before sunset, or you lose everything.
Excited, Pahom sets out early in the morning. As he walks, he keeps pushing further, thinking, “Just a little more land… just a bit more.”
He ignores the heat, exhaustion, and time.
By afternoon, he realizes he’s gone too far and must rush back before sunset. Panicked, he starts running. His body is failing, his breath is heavy, but greed drives him forward.
Just as the sun is setting, he reaches the starting point and collapses.
Dead.
In the end, his servant buries him in a grave.
Six feet long.
The lesson:
All the land he chased…
All he truly needed…
was enough to be buried in.
I hope that answers the question of how much money is really enough money
You see how he's the one doing doing doing and she's just receiving receiving receiving.
Okay.

TROOPS DESTROY KIDNAPPERS’ CAMP, RECOVER 1,000 ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION IN KOGI FOREST
Troops of the Nigerian Army under Operation WHIRL STROKE have destroyed a suspected kidnappers’ camp in Edimogbo Forest, Igala-Mela/Odolu Local Government Area of Kogi State, recovering 1,000 rounds of ammunition and other items.
Security sources said the operation was conducted at about 7:00 a.m. on October 2, 2026, by troops of the Quick Reaction Force (QRF), 21 Battalion, following intelligence on the suspected hideout. The troops mobilised through the Ejule–Alloma–Ofabo route but came under brief gunfire as they approached the camp. The suspects reportedly fled into the forest, prompting a pursuit that yielded no further contact.
The troops subsequently destroyed the camp and recovered 1,000 rounds of 7.62mm x 54 ammunition, seven bandoliers, two shovels, a hand pump, a mobile phone, a Glo modem and six Daylong motorcycles. Other items included two packets of soap, a jerrycan of Premium Motor Spirit (PMS), shoes and clothing.
