Translation Help?!
 
I need help translating this text. I understand most of it, but I need a better translation than mine. (It's all pretty simple words).

「あたまがいい
弓矢がとくい
洞くつでくらす」

Basically, it means;
"(He/she/it) Has a good mind
Is skilled in archery
Lives in a cave"

If you know who the subject is you can make it sound a little more natural ;)

Haha, Stoner, I mixed up 銅 and 洞 when reading that and started wondering how someone lives in a bronze shoe. :)

I've never heard of 洞窟. I only know 洞穴, which is spelled almost exactly the same in kana.

I`ve seen 洞穴 in writing, but can`t say I`ve ever heard anyone say it. 洞窟 is far more common, hands down.

Yeah, I only know it from reading and vocab study. I learned it when I learned 洞.
