sigh [], friendly [], tiring []

“So now,” he thought, “somebody else will have to do something, and I hope they will do it soon, because if they don't I shall have to swim, which I can't, so I hope they do it soon.” And then he gave a very long sigh and said, “I wish Pooh were here. It's so much more friendly with two.”

When the rain began Pooh was asleep. It rained, and it rained, and it rained, and he slept and he slept and he slept. He had had a tiring day. You remember how he discovered the North Pole; well, he was so proud of this that he asked Christopher Robin if there were any other Poles such as a Bear of Little Brain might discover.

“There's a South Pole,” said Christopher Robin (есть Южный Полюс, — сказал Кристофер Робин), “and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole (и я предполагаю, есть Восточный Полюс и Западный Полюс), though people don't like talking about them (хотя люди не любят говорить о них).” Pooh was very excited when he heard this (Пух был очень взволнован, когда /он/ услышал это), and suggested that they should have an Expotition to discover the East Pole (и предложил организовать Искпедицию, /чтобы/ открыть Восточный Полюс), but Christopher Robin had thought of something else to do with Kanga (но Кристофер Робин вспомнил о чем-то еще, /что ему нужно было/ = о каком-то деле, которое нужно было сделать с Кенгой), so Pooh went out to discover the East Pole by himself (поэтому Пух отправился открывать Восточный Полюс сам). Whether he discovered it or not, I forget (открыл он его или нет, я забываю = не помню); but he was so tired when he got home that (но он так устал, когда /он/ добрался домой, что) in the very middle of his supper (в самой середине /своего/ ужина = в самый разгар ужина), after he had been eating for little more than half-an-hour (после того как он ел уже чуть больше получаса), he fell fast asleep in his chair (он крепко заснул в своем кресле), and slept and slept and slept (и спал, и спал, и спал; to sleep).

“There's a South Pole,” said Christopher Robin, “and I expect there's an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don't like talking about them.” Pooh was very excited when he heard this, and suggested that they should have an Expotition to discover the East Pole, but Christopher Robin had thought of something else to do with Kanga; so Pooh went out to discover the East Pole by himself. Whether he discovered it or not, I forget; but he was so tired when he got home that, in the very middle of his supper, after he had been eating for little more than half-an-hour, he fell fast asleep in his chair, and slept and slept and slept.

Then suddenly he was dreaming (затем ему вдруг приснился сон). He was at the East Pole (он был на Восточном Полюсе), and it was a very cold pole with the coldest sort of snow and ice all over it (и это был очень холодный полюс с самым холодным сортом снега и льда по всему нему = по всему полюсу). He had found a bee-hive to sleep in (он нашел пчелиный улей, /чтобы/ поспать в нем), but there wasn't room for his legs (но /в нем/ не было места для его ног), so he had left them outside (поэтому он оставил их снаружи). And Wild Woozles, such as inhabit the East Pole, came (и пришли Дикие Расплохи, которые обитают на Восточном Полюсе) and nibbled all the fur off his legs to make Nests for their Young (и стали выщипывать весь мех с его ног, /чтобы/ сделать Гнезда для их Детенышей). And the more they nibbled (и чем больше они щипали), the colder his legs got (тем холоднее становилось ногам), until suddenly he woke up with an Ow (пока он внезапно /не/ проснулся с /криком/ Ай!; to wake up)! — and there he was, sitting in his chair with his feet in the water (и оказалось, что он сидит в своем кресле, а его ноги в воде), and water all round him (и вода повсюду вокруг него)!

He splashed to his door and looked out (он прошлепал к двери и выглянул наружу)…

“This is Serious,” said Pooh (это Серьезно, — сказал Пух). “I must have an Escape (я должен организовать Спасение / произвести Эвакуацию).”

So he took his largest pot of honey and escaped with it to a broad branch of his tree (поэтому он взял свой самый большой горшок с медом и эвакуировался с нем на широкую ветвь своего дерева), well above the water (весьма высоко над водой), and then he climbed down again and escaped with another pot (а потом он спустился снова и эвакуировался с другим горшком)… and when the whole Escape was finished (а когда вся Эвакуация была закончена), there was Pooh sitting on his branch dangling his legs (/там/ Пух сидел на своей ветке, болтая ногами;
