did. I forgot.”

Indeed, he had eaten most of it. But there was a little left at the very bottom of the jar, and he pushed his head right in, and began to lick….


By and by Piglet woke up (вскоре проснулся Пятачок). As soon as he woke he said to himself, “Oh (как только он проснулся, он сказал себе: ой)!” Then he said bravely, “Yes (потом он сказал смело: да),” and then, still more bravely, “Quite so (а потом, еще смелее: несомненно: «вполне так»).” But he didn't feel very brave (но он не ощутил себя очень смелым), for the word which was really jiggeting about in his brain was “Heffalumps (так как словом, которое скакало у него в мозгах, было Слонопотамы; to jigget — двигаться толчками, ерзать, подпрыгивать).”

What was a Heffalump like (каким был Слонопотам)?

Was it Fierce (он был Свирепый)?

Did it come when you whistled (шел ли он на свист)? And how did it come (и как он шел / как это происходило)?

Was it Fond of Pigs at all (он Любил Свиней вообще)?

If it was Fond of Pigs, did it make any difference what sort of Pig (если он Любил Свиней, делал ли он различие в зависимости от того, какая это Свинья: «делал он какую-нибудь разницу какого сорта свинья»)?

Supposing it was Fierce with Pigs (если он был Свиреп со Свиньями), would it make any difference (была ли /для него/ какая-нибудь разница) if the Pig had a grandfather called TRESPASSERS WILLIAM (если у Свиньи был дедушка, называемый = которого звали ПОСТОРОННИМ ВИЛЬЯМ)?

He didn't know the answer to any of these questions (он не знал ответа /ни/ на один из этих вопросов)… and he was going to see his first Heffalump in about an hour from now (а он собирался = ему предстояло увидеть своего первого Слонопотама приблизительно через час /от сейчас/)!

Of course Pooh would be with him (конечно, Пух будет с ним), and it was much more Friendly with two (а он гораздо Дружелюбнее с двумя). But suppose Heffalumps were Very Fierce with Pigs
