“Yes, but I'm afraid (да, но /я/ боюсь) — I'm very sorry, Eeyore (мне очень жаль, Иа) — but when I was running along to bring it you, I fell down (но когда я бежал, /чтобы/ принести его тебе, я упал; to fall down — упасть).”

“Me going on having a real birthday?”
“Yes, Eeyore, and I brought you a balloon.”
“Balloon?” said Eeyore. “You did say balloon? One of those big coloured things you blow up? Gaiety, song-and-dance, here we are and there we are?”
“Yes, but I'm afraid — I'm very sorry, Eeyore — but when I was running along to bring it you, I fell down.”
“Dear, dear, how unlucky (ай-ай-ай, как не повезло)! You ran too fast, I expect (полагаю, ты слишком быстро бежал). You didn't hurt yourself, Little Piglet (ты не ушибся, Маленький Пятачок)?”
“No, but I–I—oh, Eeyore, I burst the balloon (нет, но я-я-ой, Иа, я лопнул шарик = он-он-ой, Иа шарик лопнул)!”
There was a very long silence (была = последовало очень долгое молчание).
“My balloon?” said Eeyore at last (мой шарик? — спросил наконец Иа).
Piglet nodded (Пятачок кивнул).
“My birthday balloon (мой именинный шарик)?”

Piglet nodded.
“My birthday balloon?”
“Yes, Eeyore,” said Piglet sniffing a little (да, Иа, — сказал Пятачок, немного посапывая). “Here it is (вот он). With — with many happy returns of the day (со-со множеством счастливых повторов этого дня).” And he gave Eeyore the small piece of damp rag (и он дал Иа маленький кусочек сырой тряпочки).
“Is this it?” said Eeyore, a little surprised (это он? — спросил Иа, немного удивленный).
Piglet nodded (Пятачок кивнул).
“My present (мой подарок)?”
Piglet nodded again (Пятачок снова кивнул).
“The balloon (шарик)?”
“Yes (да).”

“Yes.”
“Thank you, Piglet,” said Eeyore (спасибо, Пятачок — сказал Иа). “You don't mind my asking,” he went on (ты не против, если я спрошу, — продолжал он), “but what colour was this balloon when it — when it was a balloon (а какого цвета был этот шарик, когда он — когда он был шариком)?”
