The cub bowed—his mane bristling when another faery tried to step closer—and went in search of her drink, not slowing for the fey clustered around him, becoming lost in the throng of dancing faeries.
Звереныш поклонился. Вздыбил гриву, увидев, что к Айслинн собрался подойти еще один его сородич, и бросился исполнять заказ. Нырнул, не откликаясь на призывы других фэйри, в толпу танцующих.

The cub was in a frenzy of terror, yet he lay without movement or sound, frozen, petrified into immobility, to all appearances dead.
Волчонка охватил ужас, но он лежал без звука, без движения, застыв, окаменев, – лежал, как мертвый.

But as birds flew in the air, squirrels could climb trees, and the cub could only try to crawl unobserved upon the squirrel when it was on the ground.
Но белка с такой же легкостью лазала по деревьям, с какой птицы летали по воздуху, и волчонку оставалось только одно: незаметно подкрадываться к ней, пока она была на земле.

You have brought into your bower a lion's cub; delighted with the beauty of his fur, and the grace of his gambols, you have bound him with no fetters befitting the fierceness of his disposition.
Вы привели в свои покои львенка, вы восхищались его красивой шкурой, его изящными прыжками и не посадили его в клетку, как того требовал его свирепый нрав.

Midway in the passage, the current picked up the cub and swept him downstream. He was caught in the miniature rapid at the bottom of the pool.

When he ran away from your enemies, he walked behind on your trail with his face to the Ojibways and covered your backs as a she-bear covers her cubs!
Если он отступал от ваших врагов, он шел последним по вашему следу, повернувшись лицом к оджибвеям и защищая ваши спины, как медведица защищает своих детенышей!

As a rule, wolf-mothers train their children to hunt by giving them prey to play with; and now watching the cubs chasing the puppy over the frozen snow and struggling with him, the mother thought: "Let them learn."
Обыкновенно волчихи приучают своих детей к охоте, давая им поиграть добычей; и теперь, глядя, как волчата гонялись по насту за щенком и боролись с ним, волчиха думала: "Пускай приучаются".
