тАЬWait a moment.тАЭ
Balancing on three legs, he began to bring his fourth leg very cautiously up to his ear. тАЬI did this yesterday,тАЭ he explained, as he fell down for the third time. тАЬItтАЩs quite easy. ItтАЩs so as I can hear better.тБатАКтБатАж There, thatтАЩs done it! Now then, what were you saying?тАЭ He pushed his ear forward with his hoof.
тАЬMany happy returns of the day,тАЭ said Piglet again.
тАЬMeaning me?тАЭ
тАЬOf course, Eeyore.тАЭ
тАЬMy birthday?тАЭ
тАЬYes.тАЭ
тАЬMe having a real birthday?тАЭ
тАЬYes, Eeyore, and IтАЩve brought you a present.тАЭ
Eeyore took down his right hoof from his right ear, turned round, and with great difficulty put up his left hoof.
тАЬI must have that in the other ear,тАЭ he said. тАЬNow then.тАЭ
тАЬA present,тАЭ said Piglet very loudly.
тАЬMeaning me again?тАЭ
тАЬYes.тАЭ
тАЬMy birthday still?тАЭ
тАЬOf course, Eeyore.тАЭ
тАЬMe going on having a real birthday?тАЭ
