A thickish piece of string."
So to the letter-box he rose (и он поднялся к почтовому ящику),
While Pooh and Owl said "Oh!" and "Hum (в то время как Пух и Филин говорили «Ах!» и «Гм!»)!"
And where the letters always come (и туда, куда всегда попадают письма)
(Called "LETTERS ONLY") Piglet sqoze (называется = под названием «Только для писем») протиснулся Пятачок
His head and then his toes (его голова, а затем его копытца).

O gallant Piglet (PIGLET)! Ho! (о, доблестный Пятачок (ПЯТАЧОК)! ура!)
Did Piglet tremble (дрожал ли Пятачок)? Did he blinch[72] (бледнел ли он)?
No, no, he struggled inch by inch (нет, нет, он пробивался дюйм за дюймом; to struggle — пробиваться, стараться изо всех сил)
Through LETTERS ONLY (через «Только для Писем»), as I know (как я знаю)
Because I saw him go (потому что я видел, как он пролез).

O gallant Piglet (PIGLET)! Ho!
Did Piglet tremble? Did he blinch?
No, no, he struggled inch by inch
Through LETTERS ONLY, as I know
Because I saw him go.
He ran and ran, and then he stood (он бежал и бежал, а затем он стал = остановился)
And shouted, "Help for Owl, a bird (и закричал: помогите Филину, птице),
And Pooh, a bear (и Пуху, медведю)!" until he heard (пока он /не/ услышал)
The others coming through the wood (как остальные идут /к нему/ через лес)
As quickly as they could (так быстро, как могут = со всех ног).

"Help-help and Rescue (помогите-помогите и спасите)!" Piglet cried (кричал Пятачок),
And showed the others where to go (и показал остальным, куда идти).
[Sing ho! for Piglet (PIGLET) ho (/пой/ ура Пятачку (ПЯТАЧКУ)!]
And soon the door was opened wide (и вскоре дверь открылась широко),
And we were both outside (и оба мы оказались снаружи)!

Sing ho! for Piglet, ho (/пой/ ура Пятачку, ура)!
Ho (ура)!
"So there it is," said Pooh (вот так, — сказал Пух), when he had sung this to himself three times (когда он пропел это себе три раза). "It's come different (это вышло иначе) from what I thought it would (по сравнению с тем, что я думал, получится), but it's come (но вышло). Now I must go and sing it to Piglet (теперь я должен пойти и спеть ее Пятачку)."

Sing ho! for Piglet, ho!

"So there it is," said Pooh, when he had sung this to himself three times. "It's come different from what I thought it would, but it's come. Now I must go and sing it to Piglet."

I AM SCERCHING FOR A NEW HOUSE FOR OWL SO HAD YOU RABBIT (Я ИСЧУ НОВЫЙ ДОМ ДЛЯ ФИЛИНА И ТЫ ТОЖЕ ДОЛЖЕН КРОЛИК).
"What's all this (что все это /значит/)?" said Eeyore (спросил Иа).
Rabbit explained (Кролик объяснил).
"What's the matter with his old house (/а/ что случилось с его старым домом)?"
Rabbit explained (Кролик объяснил).
"Nobody tells me (никто мне /не/ говорит)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа). "Nobody keeps me informed (никто /не/ держит меня в курсе). I make it seventeen days come Friday since anybody spoke to me (по моим прикидкам в следующую пятницу будет семнадцать дней с тех пор, как со мной кто-нибудь говорил; to make — считать, полагать, прикидывать)."

I AM SCERCHING FOR A NEW HOUSE FOR OWL SO HAD YOU RABBIT.
"What's all this?" said Eeyore.
Rabbit explained.
"What's the matter with his old house?"
Rabbit explained.
"Nobody tells me," said Eeyore. "Nobody keeps me informed. I make it seventeen days come Friday since anybody spoke to me."
"It certainly isn't seventeen days (конечно же не семнадцать дней) — "
"Come Friday (в следующую пятницу)," explained Eeyore (пояснил Иа).
"And to-day's Saturday (а сегодня суббота)," said Rabbit (сказал Кролик). "So that would make it eleven days (поэтому было бы одиннадцать дней). And I was here myself a week ago (а я сам был здесь неделю назад)."
"Not conversing (/ты/ не разговаривал)," said Eeyore (сказал Иа). "Not first one and then the other (не так как положено — сначала один, а потом другой). You said 'Hallo' and Flashed Past (ты сказал «привет» и Пронесся Мимо; to flash — быстро промелькнуть, пронестись, пробежать). I saw your tail a hundred yards up the hill (я увидел твой хвост ярдах в ста наверху холма) as I was meditating my reply (пока размышлял над своим ответом). I had thought of saying 'What (я придумал спросить «что»)?' — but, of course, it was then, too late (но, конечно, тогда было уже слишком поздно)."

"It certainly isn't seventeen days — "
"Come Friday," explained Eeyore.

"Not conversing," said Eeyore. "Not first one and then the other. You said 'Hallo' and Flashed Past. I saw your tail a hundred yards up the hill as I was meditating my reply. I had thought of saying 'What?' — but, of course, it was then, too late."
"Well, I was in a hurry (ну, я спешил: «был в спешке»)."
"No Give and Take (никакого Обмена Шутками; give-and-take — обмен шутками, остроумными репликами и т. п.)," Eeyore went on (продолжал Иа). "No Exchange of Thought (никакого Обмена Мыслями). 'Hallo — What' — I mean (я имею в виду: привет — что), it gets you nowhere (это тебе ничего /не/ дает), particularly if the other person's tail is only just in sight for the second half of the conversation (особенно, если хвост другой особы виден только лишь в течении второй половины беседы)."
