“Red (красного).”
“I just wondered… Red,” he murmured to himself (мне просто было интересно…, красного, — прошептал он себе). “My favourite colour (мой любимый цвет)… How big was it (а какого размера он был)?”
“About as big as me (приблизительно с меня: «такой большой, как я»).”
“I just wondered (мне просто было интересно)… About as big as Piglet (приблизительно с Пятачка),” he said to himself sadly (сказал он себе грустно). “My favourite size (мой любимый размер). Well, well (так, так / ну, ну).”

“Thank you, Piglet,” said Eeyore. “You don't mind my asking,” he went on, “but what colour was this balloon when it — when it was a balloon?”
“Red.”
“I just wondered… Red,” he murmured to himself. “My favourite colour… How big was it?”
“About as big as me.”
“I just wondered… About as big as Piglet,” he said to himself sadly. “My favourite size. Well, well.”
Piglet felt very miserable, and didn't know what to say (Пятачок чувствовал себя очень несчастным и не знал, что сказать). He was still opening his mouth to begin something (он еще открывал /свой/ рот, /чтобы/ начать /говорить/ что-то), and then deciding that it wasn't any good saying that (и потом решил, что бесполезно / не стоит этого говорить), when he heard a shout from the other side of the river (когда он услышал крик с другой стороны реки), and there was Pooh (и там = это был Пух).
“Many happy returns of the day,” called out Pooh (/желаю тебе/ много счастливых повторов этого дня, — крикнул Пух), forgetting that he had said it already (забыв, что он уже говорил это).
“Thank you, Pooh, I'm having them (благодарю тебя, Пух, они у меня есть),” said Eeyore gloomily (сказал Иа мрачно).
“I've brought you a little present (я принес тебе маленький подарок = подарочек),” said Pooh excitedly (сказал взволнованно Пух).
“I've had it,” said Eeyore (я уже получил /его/, — сказал Иа).
