As soon as he got home, he went to the larder; and he stood on a chair, and took down a very large jar of honey from the top shelf. It had HUNNY written on it, but, just to make sure, he took off the paper cover and looked at it, and it looked just like honey. “But you never can tell,” said Pooh. “I remember my uncle saying once that he had seen cheese just this colour.” So he put his tongue in, and took a large lick. “Yes,” he said, “it is. No doubt about that. And honey, I should say, right down to the bottom of the jar. Unless, of course,” he said, “somebody put cheese in at the bottom just for a joke.

So Piglet put the jar at the bottom of the Pit, and climbed out (и Пятачок положил банку на дно Ямы и выбрался), and they went off home together (и они отправились вместе домой).
“Well, good night, Pooh,” said Piglet (ну, спокойной ночи, Пух, — сказал Пятачок), when they had got to Pooh's house (когда они добрались до дома Пуха). “And we meet at six o'clock to-morrow morning by the Pine Trees (и мы встречаемся в шесть часов утра завтра у Сосен), and see how many Heffalumps we've got in our Trap (и увидим, сколько Слонопотамов у нас есть =
