“Doesn't it?” said Eeyore (не так ли / правда? — сказал Иа). “It goes in and out like anything (он прекрасно входит и выходит; like anything — чрезвычайно, очень, ужасно).”

“Oh, no, Eeyore,” said Pooh. “Balloons are much too big to go into Pots. What you do with a balloon is, you hold the balloon —”
“Not mine,” said Eeyore proudly. “Look, Piglet!” And as Piglet looked sorrowfully round, Eeyore picked the balloon up with his teeth, and placed it carefully in the pot; picked it out and put it on the ground; and then picked it up again and put it carefully back.
“So it does!” said Pooh. “It goes in!”
“So it does!” said Piglet. “And it comes out!”
“Doesn't it?” said Eeyore. “It goes in and out like anything.”
“I'm very glad,” said Pooh happily (я очень рад, — сказал счастливо Пух), “that I thought of giving you a Useful Pot to put things in (что я додумался подарить тебе Полезный Горшочек, /чтобы/ класть туда вещи).”
“I'm very glad,” said Piglet happily (я очень рад, — сказал счастливо Пятачок), “that thought of giving you something to put in a Useful Pot (что я додумался подарить тебе что-то, /чтобы/ положить в Полезный Горшочек).”
But Eeyore wasn't listening (но Иа не слушал). He was taking the balloon out (он вытаскивал шарик), and putting it back again (и клал = засовывал его снова назад), as happy as could be (такой счастливый, как мог быть = счастливый как никогда)….
“And didn't I give him anything (а я ему ничего не подарил)?” asked Christopher Robin sadly (спросил печально Кристофер Робин).

“Of course you did,” I said (конечно, ты сделал = подарил, — сказал я). “You gave him don't you remember — a little — a little (ты подарил ему, разве ты не помнишь — маленькую — маленькую)”
“I gave him a box of paints to paint things with (я подарил ему коробку красок, чтобы красить /вещи/).”
“That was it (именно: «то было оно»).”
“Why didn't I give it to him in the morning (почему я не подарил это ему утром)?”
“You were so busy getting his party ready for him (ты был так занят подготовкой вечеринки для него). He had a cake with icing on the top (у него был торт с сахарной глазурью сверху), and three candles (и тремя свечами), and his name in pink sugar, and — (и его именем из розового сахара, и)”
