Next day, holding her wild head high that her wild horns should not catch in the wild trees, Wild Cow came up to the Cave, and the Cat followed, and hid himself just the same as before; and everything happened just the same as before; and the Cat said the same things as before, and when Wild Cow had promised to give her milk to the Woman every day in exchange for the wonderful grass, the Cat went back through the Wet Wild Woods waving his wild tail and walking by his wild lone, just the same as before. But he never told anybody. And when the Man and the Horse and the Dog came home from hunting and asked the same questions same as before, the Woman said, ‘Her name is not Wild Cow any more, but the Giver of Good Food. She will give us the warm white milk for always and always and always, and I will take care of her while you and the First Friend and the First Servant go hunting.’

Next day the Cat waited to see (на следующий день Кот подождал, чтобы выяснить) if any other Wild thing would go up to the Cave (/не/ пойдет ли к Пещере какая-нибудь другая = еще Дикая тварь), but no one moved in the Wet Wild Woods (но никто /не/ двигался в Диких Дремучих Дебрях), so the Cat walked there by himself (так что Кот пошел туда сам); and he saw the Woman milking the Cow (и он увидел, как Женщина доит Корову), and he saw the light of the fire in the Cave (и он увидел свет от костра в Пещере), and he smelt the smell of the warm white milk (и он учуял запах теплого белого молока; to smell — чуять, обонять, нюхать

).

Cat said (Кот сказал), ‘O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy (О мой Враг и Жена моего Врага), where did Wild Cow go (куда делась Дикая Корова)?’

move [mHv], walk [wLk], warm [wLm]

Next day the Cat waited to see if any other Wild thing would go up to the Cave, but no one moved in the Wet Wild Woods, so the Cat walked there by himself; and he saw the Woman milking the Cow, and he saw the light of the fire in the Cave, and he smelt the smell of the warm white milk.

Cat said, ‘O my Enemy and Wife of my Enemy, where did Wild Cow go?’

The Woman laughed and said (Женщина засмеялась и сказала), ‘Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods (Дикая Тварь из Диких Дебрей), go back to the Woods again (уходи обратно в Дебри /снова/), for I have braided up my hair (ибо я заплела мои волосы), and I have put away the magic blade-bone (и я убрала волшебную лопатку), and we have no more need of either friends or servants in our Cave (и нам больше не нужно ни друзей, ни слуг в нашей Пещере).’

Cat said (Кот сказал), ‘I am not a friend (я не друг), and I am not a servant (и я не слуга). I am the Cat who walks by himself (я Кот, который гуляет сам по себе), and I wish to come into your cave (и я желаю войти в твою пещеру).’

braid [breId], either ['aIDq], hair [hFq]

The Woman laughed and said, ‘Wild Thing out of the Wild Woods, go back to the Woods again, for I have braided up my hair, and I have put away the magic blade-bone, and we have no more need of either friends or servants in our Cave.’

Cat said, ‘I am not a friend, and I am not a servant. I am the Cat who walks by himself, and I wish to come into your cave.’

Woman said (Женщина сказала), ‘Then why did you not come with First Friend on the first night (тогда почему ты не пришел с Первым Другом в первый вечер)?’
