There was a long and thoughtful silence (было = возникло долгое и задумчивое молчание)… and then Pooh, who had been frowning very hard for some minutes (и тогда Пух, который хмурился очень напряженно в течение нескольких минут), said: “I make it fifteen (сказал: я полагаю пятнадцать; to make — считать, полагать, прикидывать).”
“What?” said Rabbit (что? — спросил Кролик).
“Fifteen (пятнадцать).”
“Fifteen what (пятнадцать чего)?”
“Your family (/членов/ твоей семьи).”
“What about them (/а/ что с ними)?”

“Seventeen, isn't it?” said Rabbit. “And one more for a handkerchief — that's eighteen. Eighteen pockets in one suit! I haven't time.”

“What?” said Rabbit.
“Fifteen.”
“Fifteen what?”
“Your family.”
“What about them?”
Pooh rubbed his nose and said (Пух потер /свой/ нос и сказал) that he thought Rabbit had been talking about his family (что он думал, /что/ Кролик говорил о своей семье).
“Did I?” said Rabbit carelessly (да? — сказал Кролик небрежно).
“Yes, you said— (да, ты сказал)”
“Never mind, Pooh,” said Piglet impatiently (неважно, Пух, — сказал нетерпеливо Пятачок). “The question is, What are we to do about Kanga (вопрос в том, Что нам делать в отношении Кенги)?”
“Oh, I see,” said Pooh (а, понятно, — сказал Пух).
“The best way,” said Rabbit, “would be this (лучшим способом, — сказал Кролик, — было бы вот что). The best way would be to steal Baby Roo and hide him (лучшим способом было бы украсть Крошку Ру и спрятать его), and then when Kanga says (а потом, когда Кенга спросит), 'Where's Baby Roo?' we say, 'Aha (где Крошка Ру? — мы скажем «Ага»)!'”
