quarter [`kwO:tq], bark [bRk], farther [`fRDq]
Soon they heard the hunters coming up the mountain, and then the dogs found the cave and began to bark. The hunters came and looked inside and saw the bear and killed him with their arrows. Then they dragged him outside the cave and skinned the body and cut it in quarters to carry home. The dogs kept on barking until the hunters thought there must be another bear in the cave. They looked in again and saw the man away at the farther end.
At first they thought it was another bear (вначале они подумали: это был еще один медведь) on account of his long hair (из-за его длинных волос), but they soon saw (но они вскоре увидели) it was the hunter (/что/ это был охотник) who had been lost the year before (который был потерян = потерялся /за/ год перед этим; to lose), so they went in (поэтому они вошли) and brought him out (и вывели его наружу). Then each hunter took a load of the bear meat (затем каждый охотник взял ношу медвежьего мяса; load — груз, тяжесть, ноша) and they started home again (и они отправились домой опять), bringing the man and the skin with them (унося/уводя = забрав человека и шкуру с собой). Before they left (прежде чем они ушли) the man piled leaves over the spot (человек навалил листья над местом; to pile — складывать, сваливать в кучу) where they had cut up the bear (где они разрезали медведя), and when they had gone a little way (и когда они отошли немного) he looked behind (он посмотрел назад) and saw the bear rise up out of the leaves (и увидел, /как/ медведь поднялся из листьев), shake himself (отряхнулся), and go back into the woods (и пошел назад в лес).
