Loath to give up their freedom, the gypsies listen patiently to the government representative and eat the food given them by the authorities, but make no real effort to give up their wandering life."

But the gypsies' life lacks the glamour that tradition attaches to it, and the emphasis laid on the Kolkholz (Collectivists) In their reform of the wandering nomads strips it of even elementary enchantment."
