LONG ago two Indian boys lived in the Canadian forest with their parents. One boy was much older and larger and stronger than the other. He forced his little brother to do all the hard work about the place. He stole from him all the good things his parents gave him and often he beat him until he cried with pain.
If the little boy told his parents of his brother's cruelty (если маленький мальчик рассказывал родителям о жестокости своего брата; cruel – жестокий), his brother beat him all the harder (брат бил его еще сильнее; hard – жесткий; напряженно, энергично), and the little boy found that it was more to his comfort not to complain (и малыш понял, что для него лучше не жаловаться; to find – находить, обнаруживать; comfort – утешение, успокоение, комфорт).

So one morning he took his bow and arrows and an extra pair of moccasins (поэтому однажды утром он взял свой лук, стрелы и запасную пару мокасин; extra – добавочный, дополнительный), and set out alone to seek his fortune and to find a kinder world (и отправился в одиночку искать свое счастье и /чтобы/ найти более добрый мир; fortune – счастье, фортуна, удача; состояние /имущество, собственность/).

Although the boy was small and young (хотя мальчик был маленьким и юным; young – молодой, юный), he could run very fast (он умел очень быстро бегать). He could run so fast that when he shot an arrow from his bow
