  regular 
  meal 
  times. 
  Often 
  one 
  works 
  alone 
  on 
  the 
  tent, 
  

   spinning 
  and 
  weaving 
  long 
  after 
  its 
  companions 
  have 
  quit 
  and 
  gone 
  

   below 
  for 
  the 
  midday 
  rest. 
  Such 
  a 
  one 
  appears 
  to 
  be 
  afflicted 
  with 
  

   an 
  overdeveloped 
  sense 
  of 
  responsibility, 
  and 
  looks 
  as 
  foolish 
  as 
  those 
  

   human 
  individuals 
  who 
  must 
  always 
  put 
  everyone 
  else 
  to 
  shame

  about 
  the 
  camp 
  by 
  fussing 
  around 
  over 
  unnecessary 
  work 
  when 
  the 
  

   rest 
  of 
  the 
  crowd 
  is 
  lying 
  around 
  trying 
  to 
  enjoy 
  an 
  afternoon 
  snooze. 
  

   Then, 
  too, 
  there 
  is 
  nearly 
  always 
  one 
  amongst 
  the 
  group 
  in 
  the 
  tent 
  

   who 
  can 
  not 
  get 
  to 
  sleep. 
  He 
  flops 
  this 
  way 
  and 
  that, 
  striking 
  his 
  

   companions 
  on 
  either 
  side 
  and 
  keeping 
  them 
  awake 
  also. 
  These 
  are 
  

   annoyed, 
  but 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  retaliate, 
  because 
  they 
  seem 
  to 
  realize 
  that
