Summary

A short story following the bizarre hobbies of the inhabitants of one block of flats – the short-winded man runs a circus with a dead beetle at home, a second man is playing gamekeeper in the living room-forest, another has a crematorium at home with an urn grove and a mother is taking care not of her family, but of a burro.
