He rubbed his stomach again (он потер свой живот снова)—so (вот так)—and had his paws full of huckleberries (и его лапы наполнились черникой), and gave them to the man (и /он/ дал их человеку). He rubbed again (он потер снова)—so (вот так) —and gave the man both paws full of blackberries (и дал/протянул человеку обе лапы, полные ежевики). He rubbed again (он потер снова)—so (вот так) —and had his paws full of acorns (и его лапы наполнились желудями), but the man said (но человек сказал) that he could not eat them (что он не мог есть их), and that he had enough already (и что он съел уже достаточно).
full [ful], already [Ll`redI]
He rubbed his stomach again—so—and had his paws full of huckleberries, and gave them to the man. He rubbed again—so —and gave the man both paws full of blackberries. He rubbed again—so —and had his paws full of acorns, but the man said that he could not eat them, and that he had enough already.
The hunter lived in the cave with the bear all winter (охотник жил в пещере с медведем всю зиму), until long hair like that of a bear (пока длинные волосы, как те, /что/ у медведя; until — /до тех пор/ пока /не/) began to grow all over his body (/не/ начали расти по всему его телу) and he began to act like a bear (и он /не/ начал вести себя как медведь); but he still walked like a man (но он все еще ходил, как человек). One day in early spring the bear said to him (однажды ранней весной медведь сказал ему), "Your people down in the settlement (твой народ внизу в поселке; to settle — поселяться, устраиваться) are getting ready for a grand hunt in these mountains (готовится к великой охоте в этих горах), and they will come to this cave (и они придут в эту пещеру) and kill me (и убьют меня) and take these clothes from me (и заберут эти одежды у меня)"—he meant his skin (он имел в виду свою шкуру; to mean)—"but they will not hurt you (но они не причинят тебе вреда) and will take you home with them (и заберут тебя домой с ними = с собой)."

The hunter lived in the cave with the bear all winter, until long hair like that of a bear began to grow all over his body and he began to act like a bear; but he still walked like a man. One day in early spring the bear said to him, "Your people down in the settlement are getting ready for a grand hunt in these mountains, and they will come to this cave and kill me and take these clothes from me"—he meant his skin—"but they will not hurt you and will take you home with them."
The bear knew (медведь знал) what the people were doing down in the settlement (что люди делали внизу в поселке) just as he always knew (как он всегда знал) what the man was thinking about (о чем думал человек). Some days passed (несколько дней прошло) and the bear said again (и медведь сказал снова), "This is the day when the Topknots will come to kill me (это день, когда Пучковолосые придут убить меня; topknot — пучок волос на голове, хохолок; top — верхушка; макушка; knot — узел), but the Split-noses will come first and find us (но Расщепленные Носы придут первые и найдут нас). When they have killed me (когда они убьют меня) they will drag me outside the cave (они вытащат меня наружу /из/ пещеры) and take off my clothes (и снимут мою одежду) and cut me in pieces (и разрежут меня на кусочки). You must cover the blood with leaves (ты должен засыпать кровь листьями), and when they are taking you away (и когда они будут забирать тебя прочь) look back (посмотри назад) after you have gone a piece (после того, как ты отойдешь на некоторое расстояние; piece — кусок, штука; некоторое количество) and you will see something (и ты кое-что увидишь)."

The bear knew what the people were doing down in the settlement just as he always knew what the man was thinking about. Some days passed and the bear said again, "This is the day when the Topknots will come to kill me, but the Split-noses will come first and find us. When they have killed me they will drag me outside the cave and take off my clothes and cut me in pieces. You must cover the blood with leaves, and when they are taking you away look back after you have gone a piece and you will see something."
Soon they heard the hunters coming up the mountain (вскоре они услышали, как охотники поднимались в горы; to hear), and then the dogs found the cave (и затем собаки нашли пещеру) and began to bark (и начали лаять). The hunters came and looked inside (охотники пришли и заглянули внутрь) and saw the bear (и увидели медведя) and killed him with their arrows (и убили его своими стрелами). Then they dragged him outside the cave (затем они вытащили его наружу /из/ пещеры) and skinned the body (и сняли шкуру с его тела; to skin — снимать шкуру) and cut it in quarters to carry home (и разрезали его на четвертины, чтобы нести домой). The dogs kept on barking (собаки продолжали лаять) until the hunters thought (пока охотники не подумали;
