Everybody was doing something to help. Piglet, wide awake suddenly, was jumping up and down and making “Oo, I say” noises; Owl was explaining that in a case of Sudden and Temporary Immersion the Important Thing was to keep the Head Above Water; Kanga was jumping along the bank, saying “Are you sure you're all right, Roo dear?” to which Roo, from whatever pool he was in at the moment, was answering “Look at me swimming!” Eeyore had turned round and hung his tail over the first pool into which Roo fell, and with his back to the accident was grumbling quietly to himself, and saying, “All this washing; but catch on to my tail, little Roo, and you'll be all right”; and,Christopher Robin and Rabbit came hurrying past Eeyore, and were calling out to the others in front of them.
“All right, Roo, I'm coming (все в порядке, Ру, я иду),” called Christopher Robin (крикнул Кристофер Робин).
“Get something across the stream lower down (возьмите что-нибудь, чтобы опустить поперек ручья), some of you fellows (кто-нибудь из вас, ребята),” called Rabbit (крикнул Кролик).
But Pooh was getting something (а Пух что-то нес). Two pools below Roo he was standing with a long pole in his paws (на две заводи ниже Ру он стоял с длинным шестом в лапах), and Kanga came up and took one end of it (а Кенга подошла = подбежала и схватилась за один его конец), and between them they held it across the lower part of the pool (и между ними они держали его через нижнюю часть заводи = они опустили его поперек нижней части заводи); and Roo, still bubbling proudly (а Ру, все еще гордо булькающего; bubble — пузырек; to bubble — кипеть; пузыриться; подниматься пузырьками), “Look at me swimming (посмотрите, как я плаваю),” drifted up against it, and climbed out (выплыл, несомый течением, на него: «продрейфовал к нему», и он выкарабкался /из воды/).

“Did you see me swimming (вы видели, как я плавал)?” squeaked Roo excitedly (возбужденно пищал Ру), while Kanga scolded him and rubbed him down (пока Кенга бранила /его/ и вытирала его). “Pooh, did you see me swimming (Пух, ты видел, как я плавал)? That's called swimming, what I was doing (то, что я делал, называется плавать). Rabbit, did you see what I was doing (Кролик, ты видел, что я делал)? Swimming (плавал). Hallo, Piglet (эй, Пятачок)! I say, Piglet (послушай, Пятачок;
