さて、たまたまなんだけどね、その前の日に、きみは友だちのピグレットの家のパーティーに行って、風船をもらってきていたんだ。大きな緑色の風船だったよね。それから、ラビットの親戚のひとりは、大きな青い風船をもらったんだけど、忘れて帰っちゃったんだ。パーティーに行くには、まだまだ小さすぎたからね。だから、緑のも青のも持って帰ってきたってわけ。
Well, it just happened that you had been to a party the day before at the house of your friend Piglet, and you had balloons at the party. You had had a big green balloon; and one of Rabbit’s relations had had a big blue one, and had left it behind, being really too young to go to a party at all; and so you had brought the green one and the blue one home with you.
