). They were inside his skin and they tickled (они были внутри его шкуры и /они/ щекотали). So he went home, very angry indeed and horribly scratchy (и он пошел домой, воистину очень сердитый и со страшным зудом; to scratch — чесать(ся)); and from that day to this (и с того дня до сего(дня) / и поныне) every rhinoceros has great folds in his skin and a very bad temper (у каждого носорога большие складки на /его/ шкуре и очень скверный нрав), all on account of the cake-crumbs inside (исключительно из-за крошек от пирога внутри; account — счет; on account — в счет чего-либо, из-за чего-либо).

And the Rhinoceros did. He buttoned it up with the three buttons, and it tickled like cake-crumbs in bed. Then he wanted to scratch, but that made it worse; and then he lay down on the sands and rolled and rolled and rolled, and every time he rolled the cake crumbs tickled him worse and worse and worse. Then he ran to the palm-tree and rubbed and rubbed and rubbed himself against it. He rubbed so much and so hard that he rubbed his skin into a great fold over his shoulders, and another fold underneath, where the buttons used to be (but he rubbed the buttons off), and he rubbed some more folds over his legs. And it spoiled his temper, but it didn’t make the least difference to the cake-crumbs. They were inside his skin and they tickled. So he went home, very angry indeed and horribly scratchy; and from that day to this every rhinoceros has great folds in his skin and a very bad temper, all on account of the cake-crumbs inside.

But the Parsee came down from his palm-tree (а Парс спустился с /своей/ пальмы), wearing his hat (нося свою шляпу = в шляпе), from which the rays of the sun were reflected in more-than-oriental splendour (от которой лучи солнца отражались в более-чем-восточном великолепии), packed up his cooking-stove (упаковал свою кухонную плитку), and went away in the direction of Orotavo, Amygdala, the Upland Meadows of Anantarivo, and the Marshes of Sonaput (и ушел в направлении Оротаво, Миндалины, Горных Лугов Антананариву и Болот Сонапута[24]).

THIS Uninhabited Island (этот Необитаемый Остров) Is off Cape Gardafui (в стороне от Мыса Гвардафуй[25]). By the Beaches of Socotra (у Берегов Сокотры) And the Pink Arabian Sea (и Розового Аравийского моря): But it’s hot — too hot from Suez (но жарко — слишком жарко от Суэца) For the likes of you and me (для таких, как вы и я) Ever to go (когда-либо плыть) In a P. and O.[26] (пароходом компании П.О.) And call on the Cake-Parsee (и навестить Парса с пирогом)!
