英语翻译
Cooper's gift in the way of invention was not a rich endowment; but such as it was he liked to work it,he was pleased with the effects,and indeed he did some quite sweet things with it.In his little box of stage properties he kept six or eight cunning devices,tricks,artifices for his savages and woodsmen to deceive and circumvent each other with,and he was never so happy as when he was working these innocent things and seeing them go.A favorite one was to make a moccasined person tread in the tracks of the moccasined enemy,and thus hide his own trail.Another stage-property that he pulled out of his box pretty frequently was his broken twig.He prized his broken twig above all the rest of his effects,and worked it the hardest.
