Nobody said anything at all for a long time (долгое время никто ничего /не/ говорил), till the Head Chief laughed (пока Главный Вождь /не/ засмеялся); then the Stranger-man (who was at least a Tewara) laughed (потом засмеялся Незнакомец (который, по крайней мере, был Теварцем)); then Tegumai laughed (потом засмеялся Тегумай) till he fell down flat on the bank (пока он /не/ упал плашмя на берег); then all the Tribe laughed more and worse and louder (потом засмеялось все Племя больше, и хуже, и громче). The only people who did not laugh were Teshumai Tewindrow and all the Neolithic ladies (единственными людьми, которые не смеялись, были Тешумай Тевиндроу и все Неолитические дамы). They were very polite to all their husbands (они были очень вежливы ко всем своим мужьям), and said ‘idiot!’ ever so often (и крайне часто говорили «болван!»).
Then the Head Chief of the Tribe of Tegumai cried and said and sang (тогда Главный Вождь Племени Тегумая вскричал и сказал нараспев), ‘O Small-person-without-any-manners-who-ought-to-be-spanked (О Маленькая невоспитанная особа, которую следует отшлепать), you’ve hit upon a great invention (ты наткнулась на великое изобретение;
