When Pooh saw what it was, he nearly fell down, he was so pleased. It was a Special Pencil Case. There were pencils in it marked “B” for Bear, and pencils marked “HB” for Helping Bear, and pencils marked “BB” for Brave Bear. There was a knife for sharpening the pencils, and India-rubber for rubbing out anything which you had spelt wrong, and a ruler for ruling lines for the words to walk on, and inches marked on the ruler in case you wanted to know how many inches anything was, and Blue Pencils and Red Pencils and Green Pencils for saying special things in blue and red and green. And all these lovely things were in little pockets of their own in a Special Case which shut with a click when you clicked it. And they were all for Pooh.

“Oh!” said Pooh (ах! — сказал Пух).

“Oh, Pooh (ах, Пух)!” said everybody else except Eeyore (сказали все остальные, кроме Иа).

“Thank-you,” growled Pooh (спасибо, — пробурчал Пух).

But Eeyore was saying to himself (а Иа говорил себе), “This writing business (эти письменные дела). Pencils and what-not (карандаши и всякая всячина). Over-rated, if you ask me (/все это/ слишком переоценено, если /вы/ спросите меня). Silly stuff (ничтожный хлам). Nothing in it (ничего /стоящего/ в этом).”

Later on, when they had all said “Good-bye” and “Thank-you” to Christopher Robin (позже, когда они все сказали «до свидания» и «спасибо» Кристоферу Робину), Pooh and Piglet walked home thoughtfully together in the golden evening (Пух и Пятачок задумчиво пошли домой вместе золотым вечером), and for a long time they were silent (и долгое время они молчали).
