There was very little about the natives’ way of doing things that Kubwa did not know. He had taken a liking to their food, especially to their bananas, and he used to make a business of raiding the villages. He knew the difference between a fire on the ground that stayed there, and one in the hand that could be thrown; he knew all about spears and about sharp sticks stuck in the ground; and whenever the natives played any of those tricks on him, he used to tear down the huts of the villages and trample the fields under foot, just for revenge.
库巴几乎了解所有土著人的想法!4m_19-;kT#j[v2&nu。他已经喜欢上了他们的食物，尤其是香蕉，他经常以袭击村庄为业Y2f%DMbG+PEzi@n]ww3s。他知道地上的火和在手里可以扔出去的火的区别；他知道长矛和插在地上的尖棍的区别；每当当地人对他耍这些花招时，他总是拆毁村庄的茅屋，践踏田野，只为报复i4xcn~3D;!NRN(]FZ。
After a while he got to trampling just for the fun of it. When he was in the banana groves at night, he used, to chuckle over the way the youngsters were smashing over the young trees not bearing fruit. It was wasteful, but it was good fun, and the natives could always plant others. Altogether he lived a lordly life, helping himself to what he liked and taking care to keep what he got; his herd was the biggest in the country, and his name was the most feared by elephants and natives.
过了一会儿，他开始为了好玩而践踏田野XA4vr_g;mu+K&ScJYEP。当他晚上在香蕉林里的时候，他常常笑着看着那些年轻象在没有结果的小树上砸来砸去kY6guK1@h_Ickh4ER。这很浪费，但很有趣，当地人总是可以种植其他植物5ikOJ9w6UAp-。总之，他过着贵族的生活，爱吃什么就吃什么，得到什么就拿什么;他的大象群是这个国家最大的，他的名字是大象和当地人最害怕的)2^ak~p+7Sh。
