Eeyore was sitting with his tail in the water when they all got back to him.
“Tell Roo to be quick, somebody,” he said. “My tail's getting cold. I don't want to mention it, but I just mention it. I don't want to complain, but there it is. My tail's cold.”
“Here I am!” squeaked Roo.
“Oh, there you are.”
“Did you see me swimming?”
Eeyore took his tail out of the water, and swished it from side to side.
“As I expected,” he said (как я и ожидал, — сказал он). “Lost all feeling (потерял всякую чувствительность). Numbed it (он окоченел: «окоченел его = отморозил его»; numb — онемелый, неподвижный; окоченелый /от холода/). That's what it's done (именно это и случилось). Numbed it (окоченел). Well, as long as nobody minds, I suppose it's all right (ну, поскольку никто /не/ возражает, я полагаю, /что/ все в порядке).”
“Poor old Eeyore (бедный старый Иа)! I'll dry it for you,” said Christopher Robin (я вытру его тебе, — сказал Кристофер Робин), and he took out his handkerchief and rubbed it up (и он вытащил носовой платок и растер его).
“Thank you, Christopher Robin (спасибо, Кристофер Робин). You're the only one who seems to understand about tails (ты единственный, кто, кажется, понимает что-то в хвостах). They don't think (они не думают) — that's what's the matter with some of these others (вот в чем проблема с некоторыми из этих остальных). They've no imagination (у них нет воображения). A tail isn't a tail to them (хвост для них не хвост), it's just a Little Bit Extra at the back (это просто Маленький Дополнительный Кусочек / Еще Немножко спины).”

“Never mind, Eeyore,” said Christopher Robin (не беда, Иа, — сказал Кристофер Робин), rubbing his hardest (растирая /его/ изо всех сил). “Is that better (так лучше)?”
“It's feeling more like a tail perhaps (он ощущается /теперь/ больше, как хвост, возможно). It Belongs again (он снова Принадлежит /мне/ =
