David couldn't see what the man on the pole did with the ends of the wires, but he fastened them somehow to the wires that were there already, and then he came down.
And the man on the ground put a short stick through the hole in the middle of the spool, and he took hold of one end of the stick and the man who had just come down from the pole took hold of the other end, and they walked along, and the hanging wire began to get tight, and the spool began to turn around as they walked, and the wire lay on the ground behind them.
And they walked past the two new poles and to the corner of the new house; and they put the spool down on the ground.
Almost all the wire had unwound from the spool.
The other man had been doing what had to be done at the second pole: nailing on the wooden thing and putting the glass on.
Then he had taken a ladder to the corner of the house, and he had fastened some things for the wire to go through, up the corner of the house to the eaves.
Then he came down the ladder, and all the men walked back together.
The first man walked up his pole again and waited.
And the second man walked up his pole, and let down the end of the rope.
And the man on the ground tied it to the wire, and the man on the pole pulled it up, and the wire hung in the air between him and David's house.
