　　Manuel and Joe were traders with the Pawnee Indians. Each of them tried to acquire by trade as many furs as possible for himself, using whatever means possible and without showing mercy towards the other. For that reason, they often quarreled. In order to prevent such hot arguments they agreed that if a band of Indians arrived at their trading posts for the purpose of exchange and barter(实物交换), neither would attempt to take advantage of the other. Manuel, however, had no intention of trading on honorable terms for any length of time; once when both of them expected a band of Pawnee, he tried to fool Joe.

　　One day while he ordered his post supplied in secret with commodities to barter with the Pawnee, he went over to see Joe in order to put him off his guard, by his own presence there to hinder(打扰)preparations, and to see what was really going on in the other store house. Joe played the part of unsuspecting(不怀疑的) host just as well as his opponent(对手)played his role. He acted just as though he had allowed himself to be really fooled. He invited Manuel to drink a glass of champagne to the success of prospective(预期的) trade; but regretted that on account of his bad back he was not able to stoop down and therefore, would have to ask Manuel to fetch the cask from the cellar. The latter obligingly raised the trapdoor in the room and went down the steps. Joe let fall the door, rolled a cask upon it, with mocking (嘲笑的)words left his opponent imprisoned, then, went off to trade alone with the Pawnee.
