With these proud words he gave Christopher Robin the missage.
“But it's from Piglet!” cried Christopher Robin when he had read it.
“Isn't there anything about Pooh in it?” asked Bear, looking over his shoulder.
Christopher Robin read the message aloud.
“Oh, are those 'P's' piglets? I thought they were poohs.”
“We must rescue him at once (мы должны его сейчас же спасти)! I thought he was with you, Pooh (я думал, он с тобой, Пух). Owl, could you rescue him on your back (Филин, ты мог бы спасти его на /своей/ спине)?”
“I don't think so (/я/ /так/ не думаю),” said Owl, after grave thought (сказал Филин после серьезного размышления). “It is doubtful if the necessary dorsal muscles— (сомнительно, чтобы необходимые дорсальные мускулы = необходимое усилие дорсальных мускулов; dorsal — спинной, дорсальный)”
“Then would you fly to him at once and say that Rescue is Coming (тогда не слетаешь ли ты к нему сейчас же, /чтобы/ сказать, что Помощь Идет)? And Pooh and I will think of a Rescue (а мы с Пухом придумаем Спасение = Как Спасти Его) and come as quick as ever we can (и прибудем /так/ быстро, как только /мы/ сможем). Oh, don't talk, Owl, go on quick (ах, не говори, Филин, лети же быстрее)!” And, still thinking of something to say (и все еще думая, что сказать), Owl flew off (Филин улетел).

“Now then, Pooh,” said Christopher Robin (ну же, Пух, — сказал Кристофер Робин), “where's your boat (где твой корабль)?”
“I ought to say (/я/ должен сказать),” explained Pooh as they walked down to the shore of the island (объяснил Пух, когда они спускались к берегу острова), “that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat (это не совсем обычный корабль). Sometimes it's a Boat (иногда он Корабль), and sometimes it's more of an Accident (а иногда он скорее Несчастный Случай). It all depends (это зависит от; it all depends — как сказать! поживем увидим).”
“Depends on what (зависит от чего)?”
