The village was surrounded by the usual thorn zareba, an' the whole tribe was gathered just inside the gates, feastin'.

They were carried away from the fires and through rows of grass huts to the gateway of the zareba.

With a quick motion the boy stooped and caught it up, whirled it around, and sent it flying across the zareba.
