The circus freaks gathered in chronological order around the circumference of the big tent where they had performed shows daily for the past two weeks. Then, like one clan unified in their chore, they clamped on to the large pins holding the tent in place and pulled them out. After that they clamored about in a very civilized manner until they had packed up the large tent, wiped off the wood chips and chopped down the remaining poles to be used as firewood. The wood that they had claimed two weeks ago was now theirs to circulate amongst themselves to help heat the small cabins where they all lived and fight the chill that came every night. Their efficiency at taking down the tent was cited respectfully in the civilian newspaper the following day.
馬戲愛好者們按時(shí)間順序聚在了大帳篷的四周。在過去兩周里，他們每天都在這個(gè)大帳篷里表演節(jié)目。接著，就像一個(gè)部落里的人一起干家務(wù)活一樣，他們鉗住固定帳篷的大鐵釘，把它們拔了出來。之后他們便十分文明地叫嚷起來直到收好大帳篷、清掃完木頭碎片并把剩下的柱子砍倒當(dāng)柴燒。兩周前他們要的那些木頭現(xiàn)在全是他們的了，他們把這些木頭分散到各家各戶，給大家居住的小房間取暖，抵御每晚襲來的嚴(yán)寒。第二天的民間報(bào)紙表揚(yáng)了他們高效拆除帳篷的事情，字里行間充滿敬意。
