31 A Young Pioneer

Long ago, when the western part of the United States was still a wilderness 1, ayoung boy, called Kit 2, not yet twenty years old, went from his home in theEast to learn about the new country. He wanted to know what lay beyond theRocky Mountains.

Kit's father had taught him to shoot straight, but he learned 3 more abouthunting and trapping in the country of the Indians.

Kit was always calm in times of danger. He was strong and brave. Most of theIndians liked and respected him for his honesty.

For many years, Kit lived in the West. He taught other white men many things.

Probably the most important thing he taught them was how to get along with theIndians.

年轻的先驱

很久以前,美国西部还是一片荒野,一个年轻的男孩,名叫基特,还不满二十岁,从东部的家乡来到这里,要了解这个新的国家。他想知道在落基山脉那边有什么。

基特的父亲教会他瞄准射击,但他在印第安人的村庄里学到了更多的打猎和狩猎的本领。

基特在危险的时刻总是很沉着。他强壮勇敢。大多数印第安人因为他的诚实而喜欢并尊敬他。

基特在西部生活了很多年。他教会其他白人很多东西。也许他教会他们的最重要的东西就是如何与印第安人相处
