“Well,” said Piglet, “I should do it like this. I should make a Trap, and I should put a Jar of Honey in the Trap, and you would smell it, and you would go in after it, and—”

“And I would go in after it,” said Pooh excitedly, “only very carefully so as not to hurt myself, and I would get to the Jar of Honey, and I should lick round the edges first of all, pretending that there wasn't any more, you know, and then I should walk away and think about it a little, and then I should come back and start licking in the middle of the jar, and then—”


“Yes, well never mind about that where you would be (да, совершенно неважно, где бы ты был; never mind — ничего, неважно, не беспокойтесь, не беда), and there I should catch you (и там я бы тебя поймал).
