הַמְקַבֵּל שָׂדֶה מֵחֲבֵרוֹ וְלֹא רָצָה לְנַכֵּשׁ, וְאָמַר לוֹ מָה אִכְפַּת לְךָ, הוֹאִיל וַאֲנִי נוֹתֵן לְךָ חֲכוֹרָהּ, אֵין שׁוֹמְעִין לוֹ, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁיָּכוֹל לוֹמַר לוֹ, לְמָחָר אַתָּה יוֹצֵא מִמֶּנָּה, וּמַעֲלָה לְפָנַי עֲשָׂבִים:

If one received a field from his neighbor and did not wish to weed it [i.e., to remove bad grass, which weakens the soil and impedes the growth of the grain], and he (the renter) said to him: "What difference does it make to you [if my share is less because the grasses reduce the ears]? I will give you the rental" [so many and so many korin, that I agreed to], he is not heeded, because he (the owner) can tell him: "Tomorrow you may leave it, and it will raise (bad) grasses for me."
