The only problem was she couldn't get it out again. Tired of trying, and stuck fast, she looked as silly as Winnie the Pooh with his head in the honey pot.
唯一的问题是,她的头抽不出来,她为此已经筋疲力尽。她的窘样看上去跟维尼熊把脑袋卡在蜜罐里有得一拼。

He said: 'She has a few cuts on her face and ear.

最后我听出她的下巴有点脱臼,但我认为这正在愈合,她可以自己再次吃东西了。
I guess that's what happens when you start horsing around!
