An Indian's dress of deer skins, which is wet a hundred times upon his back, dries soft; and his lodge also, which stands in the rains, and even through the severity of winter, is taken down as soft and as clean as when it was first put up.

  • -- George Catlin 卡特林

印第安人用鹿皮做的衣服,背上湿了一百遍,又干又软;他的住处在大雨中,甚至在严冬,也被拆毁了,和当初建的时候一样柔软,一样干净。
