WHOLE POT Honey is very intricate stuff, Anything either exists or it’s not. But honey’s a mystery… What I don't get: One instant it’s there (yumm!) Then it’s not, I can bet! M-m… completely… M-m-m… enough… M-m… for now… M-m-m… half a pot… The sign reads: "TRESPASSERS W" Now let me see... Where was I going? Ah, yes... Here's an empty pot Where honey never got This one will-not-go-anywhere. And for that reason empty pot Is valued higher (and a lot!) At birthday parties out there! The end of disappointment and jokes again are funny, At once the weather is becoming sunny, When you or he or someone else, When you or he or someone else (not Me, though!) Are given on their Birthday A pot without HUNNY!!! Signs read: "PLES RING IF AN RNSER IS REQIRD", "PLEZ CNOKE IF AN RNSR IS NOT REQID" Owl! Open up! A bear has come. -Ah! Hallo, Winnie-Pooh! How are things? - Terrible and Sad. Eeyore donkey has lost his tail. - Lost his tail? Ha-ha-ha-ha... So what? - He's Moping about it. For it happens to be his Birthday! - You're saying if the tail had disappeared on any other day, nobody would notice? But now... - Owl. We need to cheer him up somehow. - And what have you, have you thought of something? - Yes. I'm giving him a Useful Pot. - Is this it? - Yes, and I wanted to ask you... - Hmm... It's a nice pot... Somebody has been keeping honey in it. - You can keep ANYTHING in it. It's Very Useful like that. And I wanted to ask you... - To give it to Eeyore? - Yes... But to... - To give it from both of us? - No. Would you write 'A Happy Birthday from Pooh' on it? - And that's all? - What else can it be? - You ought to write: "I wish you a Happy Birthday, and Many happy returns of the day!" - Amazing. Write it like this. But also add: "Pooh". - Can't you write yourself? - Generally I can. But my... My spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles. - No. All this will not fit here. The pot is too small. You know what, Pooh? Just say it, in words. - I cannot, in words. You see, I have sawdust in my head. Long words only upset me. - Very well, let me do it. Hi... py... papy... Piglet was in a terrible rush. He wanted to be the first to give a present to the donkey. Well, as if he himself remembered the birthday without any reminders. He was so lost in day-dreams about how pleased Eeyore would be, he didn't look where he was going... - I wonder what that bang was? I couldn't have made such a noise just falling down. And where's my balloon, I wonder? And what's that small piece of damp rag doing... Oh, dear! Mama! Mommy.... - Well, see here: hipy papy... bthuthdth thuthda... bthuthdy... - Owl, where did you get it? - What? Oh, this... Handsome bell-rope, isn't it? But please don't distract me. - It reminds me of something... - So. Hap.. py... - I did see it somewhere else... -... birth... -...I just can't think where. - In the forest. I saw it hanging over a bush. - Over a bush. - Yes, so what? - Oh, please. Continue on. - So. Shh! ...Birthday... Mon... money... MANY... - What were you saying? - Many. - No, you were saying something about the bush. - Well yes, I... just came... across it in the Forest.. ...And suddenly I saw ... the bell-rope hanging there. - Over the bush? - Yes. Over the bush. What's it's name... "THISTLE". - God bless. - So, what's next? You sneezed just as you were going to tell me. - I didn't sneeze. - Yes, you did, Owl. I'm sorry for interrupting you. - Exuse me, Pooh, I didn't. You can't, indeed, sneeze without knowing it. - Well, you can't know it without something having been sneezed. - What I said was... - Sorry, you haven't finished telling me about the bell-rope. - Yes, but... well... The bell-rope, well... I thought at first... I thought: "What if somebody lives there?" So I rang it. But nobody (at all) answered me from within the THISTLE bush. - Here. You're doing it again. God bless. - ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Перегон на английском - текст Космические яйца на английском - текст ...И правосудие для всех на английском - текст ...за имя Мое на английском - текст Руководство на английском |
