тАЬSo it is,тАЭ said Rabbit.
тАЬIs it a starling or a blackbird?тАЭ said Pooh.
тАЬThatтАЩs the whole question,тАЭ said Rabbit. тАЬIs it a blackbird or a starling?тАЭ
And then at last Kanga did turn her head to look. And the moment that her head was turned, Rabbit said in a loud voice тАЬIn you go, Roo!тАЭ and in jumped Piglet into KangaтАЩs pocket, and off scampered Rabbit, with Roo in his paws, as fast as he could.
тАЬWhy, whereтАЩs Rabbit?тАЭ said Kanga, turning round again. тАЬAre you all right, Roo, dear?тАЭ
Piglet made a squeaky Roo-noise from the bottom of KangaтАЩs pocket.

тАЬIf this is flying I shall never really take to it.тАЭ
And as he went up in the air he said, тАЬ Ooooooo! тАЭ and as he came down he said, тАЬ Ow! тАЭ And he was saying, тАЬ Ooooooo-ow, Ooooooo-ow, Ooooooo-ow тАЭ all the way to KangaтАЩs house.
Of course as soon as Kanga unbuttoned her pocket, she saw what had happened. Just for a moment, she thought she was frightened, and then she knew she wasnтАЩt; for she felt quite sure that Christopher Robin would never let any harm happen to Roo. So she said to herself, тАЬIf they
