The Village of Five Poles

The villagers were excited to hear that the electricity department was coming to install poles to provide electricity to the village. Each day when the workers arrived, the village gathered around them, excitedly watching and helping install the poles. But after five poles had been installed, and before the electricity was connected, the workers disappeared. The villagers waited for them to return, but they did not, and the villagers began to lose hope for receiving electricity. What do you think the village will do with the five poles?
