“Why, what's happened to your tail?” he said in surprise (ой, что случилось с твоим хвостом? — спросил он в удивлении = удивленно).

“And how are you?” said Winnie-the-Pooh.
Eeyore shook his head from side to side.
“Not very how,” he said. “I don't seem to have felt at all how for a long time.”
“Dear, dear,” said Pooh, “I'm sorry about that. Let's have a look at you.” So Eeyore stood there, gazing sadly at the ground, and Winnie-the-Pooh walked all round him once.
“Why, what's happened to your tail?” he said in surprise.
“What has happened to it?” said Eeyore (/а/ что с ним случилось? — спросил Иа).
“It isn't there (его там нет)!”
“Are you sure (ты уверен)?”
“Well, either a tail is there or it isn't there (ну, либо хвост есть /там/, либо его нет /там/). You can't make a mistake about it (ты не можешь = невозможно ошибиться в этом). And yours isn't there (а твоего нет /там/)!”
“Then what is (тогда что есть / что там)?”
“Nothing (ничего).”

“What has happened to it?” said Eeyore.
“It isn't there!”
“Are you sure?”
“Well, either a tail is there or it isn't there You can't make a mistake about it. And yours isn't there!”
“Then what is?”
“Nothing.”
“Let's have a look,” said Eeyore (давай посмотрим, — сказал Иа), and he turned slowly round to the place where his tail had been a little while ago (и он медленно повернулся кругом до того места, где его хвост был недавно: «маленькое время назад»), and then, finding that he couldn't catch it up (а потом, обнаружив, что он не может его догнать), he turned round the other way (он повернулся = стал поворачиваться кругом в другую сторону), until he came back to where he was at first (пока он /не/ вернулся туда, где он был сначала), and then he put his head down and looked between his front legs (и тогда он опустил /свою/ голову и посмотрел между передних ног; to put down — опускать), and at last he said, with a long, sad sigh (и наконец он сказал с долгим, грустным вздохом), “I believe you're right (я полагаю, что ты прав).”
“Of course I'm right,” said Pooh (конечно, я прав, — сказал Пух).
