1. This could be the
room of any small boy,Copy !req
2. but it just happens to belong
to a boy named Christopher Robin.Copy !req
3. Like most small boys,Copy !req
4. Christopher Robin
has toy animals to play with.Copy !req
5. They all live together
in a wonderful world of make-believe.Copy !req
6. His best friend is a bear
called Winnie the Pooh,Copy !req
7. or "Pooh" for short.Copy !req
8. Pooh had some unusual adventures,
right here in the Hundred Acre Wood.Copy !req
9. Deep in the Hundred Acre WoodCopy !req
10. Where Christopher Robin playsCopy !req
11. You'll find
the enchanted neighbourhoodCopy !req
12. Of Christopher's childhood daysCopy !req
13. A donkey named Eeyore is his friendCopy !req
14. And Kanga and little RooCopy !req
15. There's Rabbit and PigletCopy !req
16. And there's OwlCopy !req
17. But most of all Winnie the PoohCopy !req
18. Winnie the PoohCopy !req
19. Winnie the PoohCopy !req
20. Tubby little cubby
all stuffed with fluffCopy !req
21. He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the PoohCopy !req
22. Willy nilly, silly old bearCopy !req
23. Winnie the PoohCopy !req
24. Winnie the PoohCopy !req
25. Tubby little cubby
all stuffed with fluffCopy !req
26. He's Winnie the Pooh
Winnie the PoohCopy !req
27. Willy nilly silly old bearCopy !req
28. Winnie the Pooh lived
in this enchanted forest,Copy !req
29. under the name of Sanders,Copy !req
30. which means he had the name
over the door in gold lettersCopy !req
31. and he lived under it.Copy !req
32. Now, when Pooh heard
his Pooh-coo clock...Copy !req
33. He knew it was time for something.Copy !req
34. But he was a bear of very little brain.Copy !req
35. So when he thought,Copy !req
36. he thought in the most
thoughtful way he could think.Copy !req
37. I haven't thought of anything, have you?Copy !req
38. Nor neither have I.Copy !req
39. Think... Think... Think...Copy !req
40. Oh, yes, time for my stoutness exercise.Copy !req
41. Up, down, up.Copy !req
42. When I up, down, touch the groundCopy !req
43. It puts me in the moodCopy !req
44. Up, down, touch the groundCopy !req
45. In the mood for foodCopy !req
46. I am stout, round and I have foundCopy !req
47. Speaking poundage-wiseCopy !req
48. I improve my appetite when I exerciseCopy !req
49. Oh, stuff and fluff.Copy !req
50. That's better, thank you.Copy !req
51. Now, where was I?Copy !req
52. Oh, yes. I'm rumbly in my tumbly.Copy !req
53. Time for something sweet.Copy !req
54. I am short, fat and proud of thatCopy !req
55. So with all my mightCopy !req
56. I up, down, up, down
to my appetite's delightCopy !req
57. While I up, down, touch the groundCopy !req
58. I think of things to chewCopy !req
59. Like honey and milk and chocolate.Copy !req
60. With a hefty happy appetiteCopy !req
61. I'm a hefty, happy PoohCopy !req
62. With a hefty, happy appetite
he's a hefty, happy PoohCopy !req
63. Oh, bother. Empty again.Copy !req
64. Only the sticky part is left.Copy !req
65. That buzzing noise means something.Copy !req
66. The only reason for making
a buzzing noise that I know ofCopy !req
67. is because you're a bee!Copy !req
68. The only reason for being a bee
is to make honey.Copy !req
69. The only reason for making honey
is so I can eat it.Copy !req
70. So Winnie the Pooh
climbed the honey tree.Copy !req
71. He climbed and he climbed
and he climbed.Copy !req
72. As he climbed, he hummed a little hum.Copy !req
73. I call it my Rumbly in my Tumbly song.Copy !req
74. Yes, it went something like this.Copy !req
75. I am so rumbly in my tumblyCopy !req
76. Time to munch an early luncheonCopy !req
77. Oh, I wouldn't climb this treeCopy !req
78. If a Pooh flew like a beeCopy !req
79. But I wouldn't be a bear thenCopy !req
80. So I guess I wouldn't care thenCopy !req
81. Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bearCopy !req
82. So I do careCopy !req
83. So I climb thereCopy !req
84. I'm so rumbly in my tumblyCopy !req
85. Time for something...Copy !req
86. For somethingCopy !req
87. sweetCopy !req
88. to eat!Copy !req
89. If only I hadn't...Copy !req
90. You see, what I meant to do...Copy !req
91. And it all comes, I suppose,Copy !req
92. from liking honey so much.Copy !req
93. Oh, bother.Copy !req
94. Winnie the Pooh
crawled out of the gorse bush,Copy !req
95. brushed the prickles from his nose,Copy !req
96. - and began to think.
- Think... Think... Think...Copy !req
97. The first person he thought of was...Copy !req
98. - Winnie the Pooh?
- No.Copy !req
99. Christopher Robin.Copy !req
100. Christopher Robin lived in
another part of the forestCopy !req
101. where he could be near his friends,
and help them with their problems.Copy !req
102. On this summer day,
gloomy old Eeyore,Copy !req
103. being stuffed with sawdust,
had lost his tail again.Copy !req
104. - Eeyore, this won't hurt.
- Never does.Copy !req
105. There now. Did I get your tail
back on properly, Eeyore?Copy !req
106. No matter.
Most likely lose it again, anyway.Copy !req
107. It is my considered opinionCopy !req
108. that Eeyore's tail should
be placed a trifle to the right.Copy !req
109. Now, if you were to ask me,Copy !req
110. I think it's just a wee bit...Copy !req
111. South.Copy !req
112. No, no. North, dear.Copy !req
113. Cheer up, Eeyore.Copy !req
114. Don't be so gloomy. Try swishing it.Copy !req
115. - It worked. It worked.
- Oh, goody!Copy !req
116. Thanks.Copy !req
117. It's not much of a tail,
but I'm sort of attached to it.Copy !req
118. Good morning, Christopher Robin.Copy !req
119. Oh, good morning, Winnie the Pooh.Copy !req
120. - Good morning, Pooh bear.
- Good morning, Pooh bear.Copy !req
121. If it is a good morning, which I doubt.Copy !req
122. What are you looking for, Pooh bear?Copy !req
123. I just said to myself, coming along,
thinking and wondering,Copy !req
124. if you had such a thing as a...Copy !req
125. Such a thing, Christopher,
as a balloon, about you.Copy !req
126. What do you want a balloon for?Copy !req
127. Honey.Copy !req
128. But you don't get honey with a balloon.Copy !req
129. - I do.
- How?Copy !req
130. I shall fly like a beeCopy !req
131. up to the honey tree. See?Copy !req
132. But just a minute.Copy !req
133. You can't fool the bees that way.Copy !req
134. You'll see!Copy !req
135. Now, would you be so kindCopy !req
136. as to tow me to a muddy place
of which I know of.Copy !req
137. So Christopher Robin
towed Winnie the PoohCopy !req
138. to the very muddy place.Copy !req
139. Pooh rolled and rolled
until he was black all over.Copy !req
140. There, now.Copy !req
141. Isn't this a clever disguise?Copy !req
142. What are you supposed to be?Copy !req
143. I'm a little, black rain cloud, of course.Copy !req
144. Silly old bear.Copy !req
145. Now, would you aim me
at the bees, please?Copy !req
146. Careful, Pooh. Hold on tight.Copy !req
147. Yes.Copy !req
148. - Four...
- Yes.Copy !req
149. - ... three...
- Yes.Copy !req
150. - ... two...
- Yes.Copy !req
151. one!Copy !req
152. I'm just a little black rain cloudCopy !req
153. Hovering under the honey treeCopy !req
154. I'm only a little black rain cloudCopy !req
155. Pay no attention to little meCopy !req
156. Everyone knows that a rain cloudCopy !req
157. Never eats honey
No, not a nipCopy !req
158. I'm just floating aroundCopy !req
159. Over the groundCopy !req
160. Wondering where I will dripCopy !req
161. Christopher Robin,Copy !req
162. I think the bees
S-U-S-P-E-C-T something.Copy !req
163. Perhaps they think
you're after their honey.Copy !req
164. Well, it may be that.
You never can tell with bees.Copy !req
165. Oh, I'm just a little black rain cloudCopy !req
166. Hovering under the honey treeCopy !req
167. Christopher Robin!Copy !req
168. I think it would help with this deception,Copy !req
169. if you would kinda open
your umbrella and say...Copy !req
170. - "It looks like rain."
- It looks like rain.Copy !req
171. It looks like rain.Copy !req
172. Christopher Robin, I have come
to a very important decision.Copy !req
173. These are the wrong sorts of bees!Copy !req
174. Excuse me, please, bees.Copy !req
175. Christopher Robin!Copy !req
176. Oh, bother!Copy !req
177. I think I shall come down.Copy !req
178. I'll catch you, Pooh.Copy !req
179. Hurry, come on. The bees!Copy !req
180. Help!Copy !req
181. Christopher!Copy !req
182. Christopher Robin,
you never can tell with bees.Copy !req
183. Now, Pooh was not
the sort to give up easily.Copy !req
184. When he put his mind to honey,
he stuck to it.Copy !req
185. Now, honey rhymes with bunny,Copy !req
186. and bunny rhymes with...Copy !req
187. Rabbit?Copy !req
188. I like Rabbit because
he uses short, easy words,Copy !req
189. like, "How about lunch?"Copy !req
190. And, "Help yourself, Pooh."Copy !req
191. Pooh? Lunch?Copy !req
192. Oh, no. Not again.Copy !req
193. Oh, my. Oh, my goodness gracious!Copy !req
194. Is anybody at home?Copy !req
195. What I said was, "Is anybody at home?"Copy !req
196. No!Copy !req
197. Bother! Isn't there anybody here at all?Copy !req
198. Nobody.Copy !req
199. Must be somebody there, because
somebody must have said, "Nobody."Copy !req
200. - Rabbit, isn't that you?
- No!Copy !req
201. Isn't that the Rabbit's voice?Copy !req
202. I don't think so. It isn't meant to be.Copy !req
203. - Hello, Rabbit!
- Oh, hello, Pooh bear.Copy !req
204. Pooh bear!Copy !req
205. What a pleasant surprise.Copy !req
206. How about lunch?Copy !req
207. Oh, thank you, Rabbit.Copy !req
208. And help yourself, Pooh.Copy !req
209. Would you like condensed milk
or honey on your bread?Copy !req
210. Both! But never mind the bread, please.Copy !req
211. Just a small helping, if you please.Copy !req
212. There you are.Copy !req
213. Is something wrong?Copy !req
214. Well, I did mean
a little larger small helping.Copy !req
215. Perhaps it would save time
if you took the whole jar?Copy !req
216. Thank you, Rabbit.Copy !req
217. So Pooh ate, and ate, and ate, and ate,Copy !req
218. and ate, and ate and ate,
and ate and ate!Copy !req
219. Until at last, he said to Rabbit,Copy !req
220. in a rather sticky voice...Copy !req
221. I must be going now.Copy !req
222. Goodbye, Rabbit.Copy !req
223. Well, goodbye,
if you're sure you won't have any more.Copy !req
224. Is there any more?Copy !req
225. - No, there isn't.
- I thought not.Copy !req
226. Oh, help and bother! I'm stuck.Copy !req
227. Oh, dear! Oh, gracious!Copy !req
228. Well, it all comes from eating too much.Copy !req
229. It all comes from not having
front doors big enough!Copy !req
230. Oh, dear, it's no use.Copy !req
231. Only one thing to do.
I'll get Christopher Robin.Copy !req
232. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.Copy !req
233. Oh, my heavens to Betsy.Copy !req
234. - Well, if it isn't Pooh bear.
- Oh, hello, Owl.Copy !req
235. Splendid day to be up
and about one's business, quite.Copy !req
236. I say, are you stuck?Copy !req
237. No, no, just resting,Copy !req
238. and thinking and humming to myself.Copy !req
239. You, sir, are stuck,Copy !req
240. a wedged bear, in a great tightness.Copy !req
241. In a word, irremovable.Copy !req
242. Now, obviously,
this situation calls for an expert.Copy !req
243. Somebody call for
an excavation expert?Copy !req
244. I'm not in the book,
but I'm at your service.Copy !req
245. Gopher's the name. Here's my card.
What's your problem?Copy !req
246. Yes, yes, yes, yes.Copy !req
247. It seems the entrance to
Rabbit's domicile is impassable.Copy !req
248. To be exact, plugged.Copy !req
249. - And you want me to dig it out?
- Precisely.Copy !req
250. I say, it's over here, my good fellow.Copy !req
251. First thing to be done
is get rid of that bear.Copy !req
252. He's gumming up the whole project.Copy !req
253. Dash-it-all, he is the project!Copy !req
254. Hard digging, might hit bedrock.Copy !req
255. Danger of cave-in. Risky.Copy !req
256. Needs planks for bracing.Copy !req
257. Big job. Take two, three days.Copy !req
258. Three days? What about lunches?Copy !req
259. No problem,
I always go home for lunch.Copy !req
260. Oh, this will run into money.Copy !req
261. I say, how much?Copy !req
262. Do the job for hourly rate,Copy !req
263. plus cover materials,
plus overtime, plus 10%.Copy !req
264. And your estimate?Copy !req
265. Nope, can't give an estimate. Too risky.Copy !req
266. Blast-it-all.Copy !req
267. Good idea! We'll dynamite, save time.Copy !req
268. What's the charge?Copy !req
269. The charge?
Oh, about seven sticks of dynamite.Copy !req
270. No, no, no, the cost!
The charge in money?Copy !req
271. Nope, no charge account.
I work strictly cash.Copy !req
272. Obviously, but I should think...Copy !req
273. I can't stand around lollygagging
all day. Got a tight schedule.Copy !req
274. If you think it over, let me know.Copy !req
275. You got my card. I'm not in the book.Copy !req
276. Dash-it-all, he's gone.Copy !req
277. After all, he's not in the book, you know.Copy !req
278. Here we come. Don't worry.Copy !req
279. Cheer up, Pooh bear. We're coming.Copy !req
280. We'll get you out.Copy !req
281. Well, maybe.Copy !req
282. Silly old bear. Here, give me your paw.Copy !req
283. It's no use. I'm stuck!Copy !req
284. Well, if we can't pull you out, Pooh,
perhaps we can push you back.Copy !req
285. Oh, no! Not that! Oh, my gracious!Copy !req
286. Oh, dear!Copy !req
287. Having got this far,
it seems a pity to waste it.Copy !req
288. Pooh bear,
there's only one thing we can do.Copy !req
289. Wait for you to get thin again.Copy !req
290. Oh, bother. How long will that take?Copy !req
291. Days. Weeks. Months. Who knows?Copy !req
292. Oh, dear.Copy !req
293. If I have to faceCopy !req
294. that thing for months,Copy !req
295. I might as well make the best of it.Copy !req
296. Oh, no! There it is again!Copy !req
297. Well, I'll just turn it to the wall.Copy !req
298. Oh, dear!Copy !req
299. Yes, a frame.Copy !req
300. No. No, no, no. No.Copy !req
301. Very nice.Copy !req
302. And a splash of colour.Copy !req
303. It just doesn't have
that rustic, informal look.Copy !req
304. There.Copy !req
305. A hunting trophy.Copy !req
306. I know just the thing.Copy !req
307. Something tickles.Copy !req
308. Oh, Pooh! You messed up my moose!Copy !req
309. Pooh?Copy !req
310. Roo has a little surprise for you.Copy !req
311. - Flowers.
- Honeysuckle.Copy !req
312. No, Pooh, you don't eat them.Copy !req
313. You smell them.Copy !req
314. That's not bad. Not bad at all.
It's rather good, I think.Copy !req
315. Oh, no!Copy !req
316. Oh, no! Help!Copy !req
317. Why did I ever invite that bear to lunch?Copy !req
318. Why, oh, why, oh, why?Copy !req
319. While Pooh's bottom
was stuck at the top of page 28,Copy !req
320. his top was stuck
at the bottom of page 30.Copy !req
321. So both ends waited to get thin again.Copy !req
322. Day after day.Copy !req
323. Night after lonely night.Copy !req
324. I wonder what's for breakfast?Copy !req
325. Breakfast.Copy !req
326. Lunch.Copy !req
327. - A lunch box!
- It certainly is!Copy !req
328. I'm working the swing shift, you know.Copy !req
329. Time for my midnight snack.Copy !req
330. Say! Ain't you that stuck-up bear?Copy !req
331. I still think I could blast you out of there.Copy !req
332. What sort of lunch is in that lunch box?Copy !req
333. Well, let's see here.Copy !req
334. Summer squash...Copy !req
335. Salmon salad, succotash,Copy !req
336. spiced custard,Copy !req
337. and honey.Copy !req
338. Honey?Copy !req
339. Honey? Oh, no!Copy !req
340. Could you spare a small smackerel?Copy !req
341. Say, you ought to do something
about that speech impediment, sonny.Copy !req
342. Thank you, Gopher.Copy !req
343. Oh, no! Not that!Copy !req
344. No, no, no, no, no!Copy !req
345. Not one drop!Copy !req
346. But, Rabbit, I wasn't going to eat it.Copy !req
347. I was just going to taste it.Copy !req
348. I'll taste it for you.Copy !req
349. That supercilious scoundrel
confiscated my honey.Copy !req
350. I'm going to skedaddle.
I'm not in the book.Copy !req
351. And I'm ding danged glad of it!Copy !req
352. And then, one morning,
when Rabbit was beginning to thinkCopy !req
353. he might never be able
to use his front door again,Copy !req
354. - it happened.
- He budged.Copy !req
355. Hooray! Christopher Crabin.Copy !req
356. No, Chrostofer Raban.Copy !req
357. He bidged! He badged! He booged!Copy !req
358. Today is the day!Copy !req
359. Hooray for youCopy !req
360. Hooray for meCopy !req
361. Hooray, hoorayCopy !req
362. The Pooh will soon be freeCopy !req
363. Now the time has come for provingCopy !req
364. What the diet did for PoohCopy !req
365. And since we pledged
he'd be unwedgedCopy !req
366. That's what we're going to doCopy !req
367. He'll be pulled and he'll be tuggedCopy !req
368. And eventually unpluggedCopy !req
369. We'll have a tug-of-warCopy !req
370. To open Rabbit's doorCopy !req
371. Think heave-age
Think ho-ageCopy !req
372. And out the Pooh will go-ageCopy !req
373. For mind over matterCopy !req
374. Has made the Pooh un-fatterCopy !req
375. Heave, hoCopy !req
376. Heave, hoCopy !req
377. Heave, heave, heave, heaveCopy !req
378. Heave...Copy !req
379. There he goes!Copy !req
380. Suffering sassafras.
He's sailing clean out of the book!Copy !req
381. Quick! Turn the page!Copy !req
382. Stuck again.Copy !req
383. Don't worry, Pooh. We'll get you out.Copy !req
384. No hurry. Take your time.Copy !req
385. Bears love honey
and I'm a Pooh bearCopy !req
386. Yum, yum, yum, yumCopy !req
387. Yum, yum, yum, yum
Time for something sweetCopy !req
388. We come to the next chapter in which...Copy !req
389. But I haven't finished yet.Copy !req
390. But, Pooh, you're in the next chapter.Copy !req
391. What happens to me?Copy !req
392. Well, let's turn the page and find out.Copy !req
393. Now, one fine day, the east windCopy !req
394. traded places with the west wind.Copy !req
395. That stirred things up a bit
all through the Hundred Acre Wood.Copy !req
396. On this blustery day,Copy !req
397. Pooh decided to visit
his thoughtful spot.Copy !req
398. Yes, and on the way
I made up a little hum.Copy !req
399. It hums something like this.Copy !req
400. Oh, the wind is lashing lustilyCopy !req
401. And the trees are thrashing thrustilyCopy !req
402. And the leaves are rustling gustilyCopy !req
403. So it's rather safe to sayCopy !req
404. That it seems
that it may turn out to beCopy !req
405. It feels that it will undoubtedlyCopy !req
406. It looks like a rather
blustery day todayCopy !req
407. It seems that it may turn out to beCopy !req
408. Feels that it will undoubtedlyCopy !req
409. Looks like a rather blustery day todayCopy !req
410. Fortunately, Pooh's thoughtful spot
was in a sheltered place.Copy !req
411. He sat down and tried
hard to think of something.Copy !req
412. Think, think, think, think, think.Copy !req
413. Think... Think... Think...Copy !req
414. Say, what's wrong, sonny?Copy !req
415. - Got yourself a headache?
- No, I was just thinking.Copy !req
416. Is that so? What about?Copy !req
417. I... Oh, bother, you made me forget.Copy !req
418. If I was you, I'd think about
skedaddling out of here.Copy !req
419. Why?Copy !req
420. Because it's Winds-day.Copy !req
421. Winds-day?Copy !req
422. I think I shall wish
everyone a happy Winds-day.Copy !req
423. I shall begin with
my very dear friend, Piglet.Copy !req
424. Piglet lived in the middle of the forestCopy !req
425. in a very grand house,
in the middle of a beech tree.Copy !req
426. Piglet loved it very much.Copy !req
427. Yes.Copy !req
428. You see, it's been
in the family a long time.Copy !req
429. It belonged to my grandfather.Copy !req
430. That's his name up there.
Trespassers Will.Copy !req
431. That's short for Trespassers William.Copy !req
432. Trespassers William?Copy !req
433. Yes. And Grandma.Copy !req
434. She called him T.W.Copy !req
435. That's even shorter.Copy !req
436. Yes, yes, yes. And on this blustery day,Copy !req
437. - the wind was giving you a bother.
- Now, you've been here before.Copy !req
438. I don't mind the leaves that are leaving.Copy !req
439. It's the leaves that are coming!Copy !req
440. Happy Winds-day, Piglet.Copy !req
441. Well, it isn't very happy for me.Copy !req
442. Where are you going, Piglet?Copy !req
443. That's what I'm asking myself, where?Copy !req
444. Pooh!Copy !req
445. What do you think
you will answer yourself?Copy !req
446. Oh, I'm unravelling!Copy !req
447. Oh, that was a close one!Copy !req
448. Hang on tight, Piglet.Copy !req
449. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear!Copy !req
450. Look, Mama, look! A kite!Copy !req
451. Oh, my goodness, it's Piglet!Copy !req
452. Happy Winds-day, Kanga.
Happy Winds-day, Roo.Copy !req
453. Can I fly Piglet next, Pooh?Copy !req
454. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear!Copy !req
455. There, that should
stand against anything.Copy !req
456. Oh, help, help! Somebody, save me!Copy !req
457. - Happy Winds-day, Eeyore.
- Thanks for noticing me.Copy !req
458. Oh, bother!Copy !req
459. Oh, what a refreshing day
for harvesting.Copy !req
460. Happy Winds-day, Rabbit.Copy !req
461. Pooh bear! Stop! Oh, go back!Copy !req
462. Oh, no! Oh, no!Copy !req
463. Oh, no!Copy !req
464. Oh, yes!Copy !req
465. Next time, blow through
my rutabaga patch.Copy !req
466. Who, who, who... Who is it?Copy !req
467. It's me. Please, may I come in?Copy !req
468. Well, I say now.Copy !req
469. Someone has pasted
Piglet on my window.Copy !req
470. Well, well! Pooh, too.Copy !req
471. This is a surprise.Copy !req
472. Do come in and make yourselvesCopy !req
473. comfortable.Copy !req
474. Am I correct in assuming it is
a rather blustery day outside?Copy !req
475. Yes, sir, Owl.Copy !req
476. It's a very, very blustery day outside.Copy !req
477. Oh, yes. That reminds me.Copy !req
478. Happy Winds-day, Owl.Copy !req
479. My good fellow, I wouldn't go so far
as to call it a Winds-day,Copy !req
480. just a gentle spring zephyr.Copy !req
481. Excuse me, Owl,Copy !req
482. but is there honey in that pot?Copy !req
483. Oh, yes, of course. Help yourself.Copy !req
484. Now, as I was saying,Copy !req
485. this is just a mild spring zephyr,
compared to the big wind of '67.Copy !req
486. Or was it '76? Oh, well, no matter.Copy !req
487. Oh, I remember the big blow well.Copy !req
488. I'll remember this one, too.Copy !req
489. It was the year my Aunt Clara
went to visit her cousin.Copy !req
490. Now, her cousin was not onlyCopy !req
491. gifted on the glockenspiel,
but being a screech owl,Copy !req
492. also sang soprano in the London opera.Copy !req
493. Thank you, Piglet.Copy !req
494. You see, her constant practising
so unnerved my aunt,Copy !req
495. that she laid a seagull egg by mistake.Copy !req
496. Oh, dear. Oh, dear, dear.Copy !req
497. Well, I say now, someone has...Copy !req
498. Pooh, did you do that?Copy !req
499. I don't think so.Copy !req
500. As soon as Christopher Robin
heard of the disaster,Copy !req
501. he hurried to the scene
of Owl's misfortune.Copy !req
502. What a pity.Copy !req
503. Owl, I don't think we will
ever be able to fix it.Copy !req
504. If you ask me,
when a house looks like that,Copy !req
505. it's time to find another one.Copy !req
506. That's a very good idea, Eeyore.Copy !req
507. Might take a day or two,
but I'll find a new one.Copy !req
508. Good, that will just give me time
to tell you about my Uncle Clyde,Copy !req
509. a very independent barn owl,
he didn't give a hoot for tradition.Copy !req
510. He became enamoured of a pussycat,Copy !req
511. and went to sea in
a beautiful pea green boat.Copy !req
512. Owl talked from page 41 to page 62.Copy !req
513. On page 62, the blustery day
turned into a blustery night.Copy !req
514. To Pooh, it was a very
anxious sort of night,Copy !req
515. filled with anxious sorts of noises.Copy !req
516. One of the noises was a sound
that had never been heard before.Copy !req
517. Is that you, Piglet?Copy !req
518. Well, tell me about it tomorrow...
Eeyore?Copy !req
519. Oh, come in, Christopher Robin.Copy !req
520. Now, Pooh, being a bear
of very little brain,Copy !req
521. decided to invite the new sound in.Copy !req
522. Hello, out there.Copy !req
523. Oh, I hope nobody answers.Copy !req
524. Hello, I'm Tigger!Copy !req
525. - You scared me.
- Sure I did.Copy !req
526. Everyone's scared of tiggers.Copy !req
527. - Who are you?
- I'm Pooh.Copy !req
528. Oh, a Pooh, sure.Copy !req
529. - What's a Pooh?
- You're sitting on one.Copy !req
530. I am?Copy !req
531. Oh, well, glad to meet ya.
Name's Tigger.Copy !req
532. T, I, double "guh," err.Copy !req
533. That spells "Tigger".Copy !req
534. But what is a tigger?Copy !req
535. Well, he asked for it.Copy !req
536. The wonderful thing about tiggers
is tiggers are wonderful thingsCopy !req
537. Their tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springsCopy !req
538. They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy
pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, funCopy !req
539. But the most wonderful thing
about tiggers is I'm the only oneCopy !req
540. I'm the only oneCopy !req
541. Then what's that over there?Copy !req
542. Oh, hey, hey, look, look, look.Copy !req
543. Oh, what a strange looking creature.Copy !req
544. Look at those beady little eyes,Copy !req
545. and that pur-posti-rus chin,Copy !req
546. and those ricky-diculus
striped pyjamas.Copy !req
547. Looked like another tigger to me.Copy !req
548. Oh, no, it's not! I'm the only tigger.Copy !req
549. Watch me scare the stripes
off of this impostor.Copy !req
550. Is he gone?Copy !req
551. All except the tail.Copy !req
552. He's gone.Copy !req
553. You can come out now, Tigger.Copy !req
554. Tigger?Copy !req
555. - Hello, I'm Tigger.
- You said that.Copy !req
556. Oh, well, did I say I was hungry?Copy !req
557. - I don't think so.
- Well, then I'll say it.Copy !req
558. I'm hungry!Copy !req
559. Oh, not for honey, I hope.Copy !req
560. Honey! Oh, boy, honey!Copy !req
561. That's what tiggers like best.Copy !req
562. I was afraid of that.Copy !req
563. Oh, say...Copy !req
564. Yuck!Copy !req
565. Tiggers don't like honey!Copy !req
566. But you said...Copy !req
567. That icky, sticky stuff
is only fit for heffalumps and woozles.Copy !req
568. You mean elephants and weasels.Copy !req
569. That's what I said.
Heffalumps and woozles.Copy !req
570. Well, what do heffa... Halla...
What do they do?Copy !req
571. - Nothing much. Just steal honey.
- Steal honey?Copy !req
572. They sure do. Well, I'd better
be bouncing along now, chum.Copy !req
573. Cheerio!Copy !req
574. The wonderful thing about tiggers
is tiggers are wonderful thingsCopy !req
575. Their tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springsCopy !req
576. They're bouncy trouncy, flouncy
pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, funCopy !req
577. But the most wonderful thing
about tiggers is I'm the only oneCopy !req
578. I'm the only oneCopy !req
579. Well, if what Tigger said was true,Copy !req
580. and there really were
heffalumps and woozles about,Copy !req
581. there was only one thing to do.Copy !req
582. Take drastic precautions
to protect his precious honey.Copy !req
583. Oh, hello.Copy !req
584. Am I glad to see you!Copy !req
585. It's more friendly with two.Copy !req
586. Now, you go that way,
and I'll go this way.Copy !req
587. You didn't see anything, did you?Copy !req
588. Neither did I.Copy !req
589. Now, the very blustery night
turned into a very rainy night,Copy !req
590. and Pooh kept his lonely vigil,Copy !req
591. hour after hour after hour.Copy !req
592. Until, at last,Copy !req
593. Pooh fell fast asleep
and began to dream.Copy !req
594. Heffalumps and woozles.Copy !req
595. Heffalumps and woozles steal honey.Copy !req
596. Beware. Beware.Copy !req
597. They're black, they're brown
they're up, they're downCopy !req
598. They're in, they're out
they're all aboutCopy !req
599. They're far, they're near
they're gone, they're hereCopy !req
600. They're quick and slick
they're insincereCopy !req
601. Beware, beware
Be a very wary bearCopy !req
602. A heffalump or woozle
is very confusilCopy !req
603. A heffalump or woozle's
very sly, sly, slyCopy !req
604. They come in ones and twoslesCopy !req
605. But if they so chooslesCopy !req
606. Before your eyes
you'll see them multiplyCopy !req
607. Ply, ply, plyCopy !req
608. They're extraordinary
So better be waryCopy !req
609. Because they come
in every shape and sizeCopy !req
610. Size, size, sizeCopy !req
611. If honey's what you covet
You'll find that they love itCopy !req
612. Because they guzzle up
the thing you prizeCopy !req
613. They're green, they're blue
they're pink, they're whiteCopy !req
614. They're round, they're square
they're a terrible sightCopy !req
615. They tie themselves in horrible knots
They come in stripes or polka dotsCopy !req
616. Beware, beware
Be a very wary bearCopy !req
617. They're extraordinary
So better be waryCopy !req
618. Because they come in
every shape and sizeCopy !req
619. Size, size, sizeCopy !req
620. If honey's what you covet
You'll find that they love itCopy !req
621. Because they'll guzzle up
the things you prizeCopy !req
622. They're black, they're brown
they're up, they're downCopy !req
623. They're in, they're out
they're all aboutCopy !req
624. They're far, they're near
they're gone, they're hereCopy !req
625. They're quick and slick
they're insincereCopy !req
626. Beware, beware
Beware, bewareCopy !req
627. BewareCopy !req
628. Is it raining in there?Copy !req
629. It's raining out here, too.Copy !req
630. As a matter of fact, it was raining
all over the Hundred Acre Wood.Copy !req
631. There was a thunderstorm on page 71.Copy !req
632. And on page 73,
there was a bit of a cloudburst.Copy !req
633. It rained and it rained and it rained.Copy !req
634. The rain, rain, rain
came down, down, downCopy !req
635. In rushing rising rivuletsCopy !req
636. Till the river crept out of its bedCopy !req
637. And crept right into Piglet'sCopy !req
638. Poor Piglet he was frightenedCopy !req
639. With quite a rightful frightCopy !req
640. And so in desperationCopy !req
641. A message he did writeCopy !req
642. He placed it in a bottleCopy !req
643. And it floated out of sightCopy !req
644. And the rain, rain, rain
came down, down, downCopy !req
645. So Piglet started bailingCopy !req
646. He was unaware atop his chair
while bailing he was sailingCopy !req
647. And the rain, rain, rain
came down, down, downCopy !req
648. And the flood rose up, up, upperCopy !req
649. Pooh too was caught
and so he thoughtCopy !req
650. I must rescue my supperCopy !req
651. Ten honey pots he rescued
Enough to see him throughCopy !req
652. But as he sopped up his supperCopy !req
653. The river sopped up PoohCopy !req
654. And the water twirled and tossed himCopy !req
655. In a honey pot canoeCopy !req
656. Rain, rain, rain
came down, down, downCopy !req
657. When the rain, rain, rain
came down, down, downCopy !req
658. So the Hundred Acre Wood
got floodier and floodier.Copy !req
659. But the water couldn't come up
to Christopher Robin's house,Copy !req
660. so that's where
everyone was gathering.Copy !req
661. It was a time of great excitement.Copy !req
662. But in the midst of all the excitement,Copy !req
663. Eeyore stubbornly stuck to his task
of house-hunting for Owl.Copy !req
664. There's one.Copy !req
665. Cosy cottage. Nice location.Copy !req
666. A bit damp for Owl, though.Copy !req
667. Meanwhile, little Roo made
an important discovery.Copy !req
668. Look! I've rescued a bottle.Copy !req
669. And it's got something in it, too.Copy !req
670. It's a message, and it says...Copy !req
671. Owl, you fly over to Piglet's house,Copy !req
672. and tell him we'll make a rescue.Copy !req
673. A rescue? Yes, yes.
Of course, of course.Copy !req
674. So Owl flew out over the floodCopy !req
675. and he soon spotted two
tiny objects below him.Copy !req
676. One was little Piglet
caught in the whirlpool,Copy !req
677. and the other was Pooh,Copy !req
678. trying to get the last bit
of honey from the pot.Copy !req
679. Oh, Owl, I don't mean to complain,
but I'm afraid. I'm scared.Copy !req
680. Now, now, Piglet, chin up
and all that sort of thing.Copy !req
681. A rescue is being thought of.Copy !req
682. Be brave, little Piglet.Copy !req
683. It's awfully hard to be brave
when you're such a small animal.Copy !req
684. To divert your small mind from
your unfortunate predicament,Copy !req
685. I shall tell you an amusing anecdote.Copy !req
686. It concerns a cousin of mine,Copy !req
687. who became so frightened
during a flood that he...Copy !req
688. I beg your pardon, Owl, but I thinkCopy !req
689. we're coming to a flutterfall,
a flatterfall, a very big waterfall.Copy !req
690. Please, no interruptions.Copy !req
691. There you are, Pooh bear.Copy !req
692. Now, to continue my story...Copy !req
693. Look, there's Pooh. Over here, Pooh!Copy !req
694. Oh, hello, Christopher Robin.Copy !req
695. Pooh, thank goodness you're safe.Copy !req
696. - Have you seen Piglet?
- Excuse me, I have...Copy !req
697. What I mean is, here I am!Copy !req
698. - Pooh, you rescued Piglet.
- I did?Copy !req
699. Yes, and it was a very brave thing to do.Copy !req
700. It was?Copy !req
701. - You are a hero.
- I am?Copy !req
702. As soon as the flood is over,
I shall give you a hero party.Copy !req
703. Attention, everybody.Copy !req
704. Now, this party is a hero party,Copy !req
705. because of what someone did.
And that someone is...Copy !req
706. - I found it.
- Found what, Eeyore?Copy !req
707. House for Owl.Copy !req
708. I say, Eeyore, good show!Copy !req
709. Oh, isn't that wonderful.
Where is it, Eeyore?Copy !req
710. If you want to follow me,
I'll show it to ya.Copy !req
711. Everyone followed Eeyore.Copy !req
712. Then, to the surprise of all,
Eeyore stopped right in front of...Copy !req
713. Piglet's house?Copy !req
714. Why are you stopping here, Eeyore?Copy !req
715. This is it, Owl's new house.Copy !req
716. Oh, dear, mercy me!Copy !req
717. Oh, dear, mercy me, too!Copy !req
718. Name's on it and everything.Copy !req
719. W-O-L. That spells "Owl".Copy !req
720. Bless my soul, so it does.Copy !req
721. Well, what do you think of it?Copy !req
722. It is a nice house, Eeyore, but...Copy !req
723. It is a lovely house, Eeyore, but...Copy !req
724. It's the best house in the whole world.Copy !req
725. Tell them it's your house, Piglet.Copy !req
726. No, Pooh.Copy !req
727. This house belongs
to our very good friend,Copy !req
728. Owl.Copy !req
729. But, Piglet, where will you live?Copy !req
730. Well, I guess I shall live...Copy !req
731. I suppose I shall live...Copy !req
732. With me! You shall live with me.Copy !req
733. - Won't you, Piglet?
- With you?Copy !req
734. Oh, thank you, Pooh bear.Copy !req
735. Of course I will.Copy !req
736. Piglet, that was
a very grand thing to do.Copy !req
737. A heroic thing to do.Copy !req
738. Christopher Robin,
can you make a one-hero partyCopy !req
739. into a two-hero party?Copy !req
740. Of course we can, silly old bear.Copy !req
741. And so, Pooh was
a hero for saving Piglet,Copy !req
742. and Piglet was a hero for giving Owl
his grand home in the beech tree.Copy !req
743. We never will forget
our hero of the wetCopy !req
744. Our quick thinking
unsinking Pooh bearCopy !req
745. And Piglet, who indeed
helped out a friend in needCopy !req
746. For truly they're
the heroes of the dayCopy !req
747. So we say hip-hip-hooray
for the Piglet and the PoohCopy !req
748. Piglet and Pooh we salute youCopy !req
749. What's all that stomping
and singing and silly shenanigans?Copy !req
750. Hip-hip hoo-ray
Hip-hip hoo-rayCopy !req
751. Hip-hip hoo-ray for Winnie the PoohCopy !req
752. And Piglet, too!Copy !req
753. I sure like bouncing.
Wasn't that fun, Piglet?Copy !req
754. Yes, Pooh, but the best part
is when it stops.Copy !req
755. In the next chapter,
there's a great deal of bouncing.Copy !req
756. There is?Copy !req
757. I think that I just remembered
something that I forgot to do yesterdayCopy !req
758. and shan't be able to do tomorrow.Copy !req
759. So I suppose I really ought to
go back and do it now.Copy !req
760. - Goodbye, Pooh.
- Goodbye, Piglet.Copy !req
761. Now, is the next chapter all about me?Copy !req
762. No, no. It's mostly about Tigger.Copy !req
763. Oh, bother!Copy !req
764. - But you're in it.
- Oh, good!Copy !req
765. What will I be doing?Copy !req
766. Well, Pooh, you'll be sitting
in your thoughtful spot,Copy !req
767. thinking, as usual.Copy !req
768. Think, think. Think, think, think.
Think. Think.Copy !req
769. While he was thinking,
all of a sudden...Copy !req
770. Hello, Pooh!Copy !req
771. I'm Tigger!Copy !req
772. T, I, double "guh," err.Copy !req
773. - That spells "Tigger."
- I know.Copy !req
774. - You've bounced me before.
- I did?Copy !req
775. Oh, yeah! I re-cog-go-nise you.
You're the one stuffed with fluff.Copy !req
776. Yeah. And you're sitting on it.Copy !req
777. Yeah! And it's comfy, too.Copy !req
778. Well, I gotta go now.Copy !req
779. I got a lot of bouncing to do.Copy !req
780. T-T-F-N. Ta-ta for now.Copy !req
781. There goes Tigger, bouncing in on
his friends when they least expect him.Copy !req
782. Oh, hello, Piglet! I'm Tigger.Copy !req
783. Oh, Tigger. You scared me.Copy !req
784. Oh, shucks.Copy !req
785. That was just one of my little bounces.Copy !req
786. It was? Oh, thank you, Tigger.Copy !req
787. Yeah. I'm saving my best bounce
for old long-ears!Copy !req
788. There! That should do it.Copy !req
789. Oh, no! Stop!Copy !req
790. Hello, Rabbit. I'm Tigger.Copy !req
791. T, I, double "guh"...Copy !req
792. Please! Don't spell it.Copy !req
793. Oh, dear. Oh, dear.Copy !req
794. Just... Just look at my beautiful garden.Copy !req
795. Messy, isn't it?Copy !req
796. Messy? Messy?
It's ruined! It's ruined, Tigger.Copy !req
797. Oh, why don't you ever stop bouncing?Copy !req
798. Why? That's what tiggers do best.Copy !req
799. The wonderful thing about tiggers
is tiggers are wonderful thingsCopy !req
800. Their tops are made out of rubber
their bottoms are made out of springsCopy !req
801. They're bouncy trouncy, flouncy
pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, funCopy !req
802. But the most wonderful thing
about tiggers is I'm the only oneCopy !req
803. I'm the only oneCopy !req
804. Order, please.Copy !req
805. Now, I say,
Tigger's getting so bouncy nowadays,Copy !req
806. that it's time we taught him a lesson.Copy !req
807. No matter how much we like him,Copy !req
808. you can't deny
he just bounces too much.Copy !req
809. Excuse me, Rabbit.Copy !req
810. Perhaps if we could think of a way
of un-bouncing Tigger,Copy !req
811. it would be a very good idea.Copy !req
812. Exactly! Just what I feel.
What do you feel, Pooh?Copy !req
813. Pooh?Copy !req
814. Haven't you been listening to Rabbit?Copy !req
815. I listened, but thenCopy !req
816. I had a small piece of fluff in my ear.Copy !req
817. Could you say it again, please, Rabbit?Copy !req
818. Well, where should I start from?Copy !req
819. From the moment the fluff got in my ear.Copy !req
820. Well, when was that?Copy !req
821. I don't know. I couldn't hear properly.Copy !req
822. Pooh, we were trying to think of a way
to get the bounce out of Tigger.Copy !req
823. I've got a splendid idea. Now, listen.Copy !req
824. We'll take Tigger
for a long explore, see?Copy !req
825. Someplace where he's never been,
and we lose him there.Copy !req
826. Lose him?Copy !req
827. Oh, we'll find him again, next morning.Copy !req
828. Mark my words,
he'll be a humble Tigger.Copy !req
829. A small and sad Tigger.Copy !req
830. An, "Oh, Rabbit,
am I glad to see you" Tigger.Copy !req
831. It will take the bounces out of him.Copy !req
832. Now, all in favour say "aye".Copy !req
833. Aye. Pooh?Copy !req
834. Pooh!Copy !req
835. - Here.
- Good.Copy !req
836. Motion carried.Copy !req
837. It was agreed they'd
start the next morning,Copy !req
838. which, incidentally,
turned out cold and misty.Copy !req
839. Pooh, as usual, had a little
something along to sustain himself.Copy !req
840. And now, as Tigger kept bouncing
farther and farther into the mist,Copy !req
841. Rabbit thought it was
a good time to lose Tigger.Copy !req
842. Now's our chance. Quick!Copy !req
843. In here. Hide.Copy !req
844. Tigger's lost now, isn't he, Rabbit?Copy !req
845. He's lost, all right, Piglet.Copy !req
846. Oh, goody. This is lots of fun, Pooh.Copy !req
847. My splendid idea worked.Copy !req
848. Now, home we go.Copy !req
849. Good! It's time for lunch.Copy !req
850. - Hello!
- Oh, my goodness. Hide!Copy !req
851. Hello!Copy !req
852. That's funny. They must be lost.Copy !req
853. Hello! Hello, hello, hello.Copy !req
854. Hey, you blokes, where are ya?Copy !req
855. - He...
- Shush.Copy !req
856. I am shushed.Copy !req
857. Hey, where in the heck are you guys?Copy !req
858. Hello!Copy !req
859. Rabbit? Piglet? Where are you?Copy !req
860. Hello!Copy !req
861. Hooray! Hooray, we've done it.Copy !req
862. Come on, hurry. Let's head for home.Copy !req
863. Rabbit was certain everything was
going according to plan,Copy !req
864. and so it seemed to be.Copy !req
865. But sometime later,
on the bottom of page 123...Copy !req
866. It's a funny thing how everything
looks the same in the mist.Copy !req
867. He's right, Piglet.Copy !req
868. - It's the very same sand pit.
- I think so, too, Pooh.Copy !req
869. It's lucky I know the forest so well, or...Copy !req
870. Or we might get lost.
Well, come on. Follow me.Copy !req
871. Now, Pooh was getting tired
of seeing the same sand pit,Copy !req
872. and he suspected it
of following them about.Copy !req
873. Because, whichever
direction they started in,Copy !req
874. they always seemed to end up at it.Copy !req
875. - Rabbit.
- Yes?Copy !req
876. Say, Rabbit, how would it beCopy !req
877. if as soon as we're
out of sight of this old pit,Copy !req
878. - we just try to find it again?
- What's the good of that?Copy !req
879. You see, we keep looking for home,
but we keep finding this pit.Copy !req
880. I thought if we looked
for this pit we might find home.Copy !req
881. I don't see much sense in that.Copy !req
882. If I walked away from this pit,
and then walked back to it,Copy !req
883. of course I should find it.
I'll prove it. Wait here.Copy !req
884. So Pooh and Piglet
waited in the mist for Rabbit.Copy !req
885. And they waited,
and waited, and waited.Copy !req
886. And all the while,
Pooh's thoughts kept returningCopy !req
887. to his honey pots at home.Copy !req
888. What was that, Pooh?Copy !req
889. My tummy rumble.Copy !req
890. Now then, come on. Let's go home.Copy !req
891. But, Pooh, do you know the way?Copy !req
892. No, Piglet, but there are 12 pots
of honey in my cupboard,Copy !req
893. and they have been
calling to my tummy.Copy !req
894. They have?Copy !req
895. Yes, Piglet. I couldn't hear them before,
because Rabbit would talk.Copy !req
896. I think I know where they're calling from.Copy !req
897. Come on. We'll just follow my tummy.Copy !req
898. They walked off together
and, for a long time, Piglet said nothingCopy !req
899. so as not to interrupt
Pooh's honey pots.Copy !req
900. Sure enough, as the mist got thinner,Copy !req
901. and just when Piglet
began to know where he was...Copy !req
902. Hey, hello there, you two blokes.Copy !req
903. Where have you been?Copy !req
904. We've been trying to find
our way back home.Copy !req
905. Pooh, I don't think
Rabbit's splendid idea worked.Copy !req
906. Say, where is old long-ears, anyway?Copy !req
907. He must still be missing in the mist.Copy !req
908. Well, leave it to me.
I'll bounce him out of there!Copy !req
909. T-T-F-N. Ta-ta for now.Copy !req
910. Meanwhile, Rabbit was
still wandering around in the mist.Copy !req
911. By now, he was lost and bewildered.Copy !req
912. And to make matters worse,Copy !req
913. his mind was beginning
to play tricks on him.Copy !req
914. What's that?Copy !req
915. Pooh? Piglet?Copy !req
916. - Help!
- Hello, Rabbit!Copy !req
917. Tigger! But you're supposed to be lost.Copy !req
918. Tiggers never get lost, bunny boy.Copy !req
919. Never get lost.Copy !req
920. - Of course not.
- Oh, no.Copy !req
921. Come on, Rabbit.
Let's go home. Hang on!Copy !req
922. They started back.Copy !req
923. Rabbit was now a humiliated Rabbit,Copy !req
924. a lost-and-found Rabbit,Copy !req
925. an "Oh, why, oh, why,
do these things happen to me" Rabbit.Copy !req
926. Now we come to the next chapter,Copy !req
927. in which the first snowfall had
covered the Hundred Acre Wood.Copy !req
928. And in which Tigger learns
that even bouncing can be overdone.Copy !req
929. On this day,Copy !req
930. Roo was waiting for Tigger
to take him out to play.Copy !req
931. Mama, when is Tigger gonna get here?Copy !req
932. Be patient, dear. He'll be here.Copy !req
933. Well, here I am!Copy !req
934. Did I surprise you, Roo?Copy !req
935. You sure did! I like surprises.Copy !req
936. - Hello, Mrs Kanga, ma'am.
- Why, hello, Tigger, dear.Copy !req
937. She called me "dear".Copy !req
938. Roo, are you ready for some bouncing?Copy !req
939. Yeah! You and me are good bouncers.Copy !req
940. Just a moment, dear.Copy !req
941. Hold still.
Goodness, you're bouncy today.Copy !req
942. That's what roos do the best-est.Copy !req
943. - Now keep your scarf on.
- Not so tight, Mama.Copy !req
944. - Is your sweater warm enough?
- Yes, Mother.Copy !req
945. Well, come on, Roo. Let's go!Copy !req
946. Tigger, have Roo home
in time for his nap.Copy !req
947. And be careful!Copy !req
948. Don't worry, Mrs Kanga.
I'll take care of the little nipper.Copy !req
949. What a perfect day!Copy !req
950. Peace and quiet,
and thank goodness, no Tigger.Copy !req
951. Say, look, look, look.Copy !req
952. If it isn't old long-ears.Copy !req
953. Can tiggers ice skate
as fancy as Mr Rabbit?Copy !req
954. Can tiggers ice skate?Copy !req
955. That's what tiggers do the best.Copy !req
956. Say, this is a cinch.Copy !req
957. Oh, no. Not him!Copy !req
958. I can't... Watch out!Copy !req
959. - It can't be!
- Out of my way!Copy !req
960. Look out! I can't...Copy !req
961. Oh, why does it always have to be me?Copy !req
962. Why, oh, why, oh, why?Copy !req
963. Tigger, Tigger, are you all right?Copy !req
964. Tiggers don't like ice skating.Copy !req
965. So Tigger and Roo went farther
into the Hundred Acre WoodCopy !req
966. looking for something
that Tiggers do best.Copy !req
967. I bet you can climb trees, Tigger?Copy !req
968. Climb trees?
That's what Tiggers do best!Copy !req
969. Only Tiggers don't climb trees.
They bounce them!Copy !req
970. Come on, let's go.Copy !req
971. I almost bounced clear out of the book.Copy !req
972. Some bouncing.Copy !req
973. Say, how did this tree get so high?Copy !req
974. Hey. Hey! Hey!Copy !req
975. What's happening now?Copy !req
976. Don't swing on a string,
it's much too frail,Copy !req
977. the best kind of swing is a tigger's tail.Copy !req
978. Stop that, kid. Please.Copy !req
979. S-T-O-P. Stop!Copy !req
980. You're rocking the forest.Copy !req
981. What's the matter, Tigger?Copy !req
982. Oh, thank goodness.Copy !req
983. I was just getting see-sick from
seeing too much.Copy !req
984. We'll have to leave Tigger
up in the treetop for a little while.Copy !req
985. Because, at the bottom
of the next page,Copy !req
986. Pooh is having a problem of his own.Copy !req
987. What are you doing, Pooh?Copy !req
988. - Tracking something.
- Tracking what?Copy !req
989. That's what I asked myself, Piglet.
What?Copy !req
990. And what do you think
you'll answer yourself?Copy !req
991. I shall have to wait
until I catch up with it.Copy !req
992. Pooh, for a bear of very little brain,
you sure are a smart one!Copy !req
993. Thank you, Piglet.Copy !req
994. Now what?Copy !req
995. A very mysterious thing, Piglet.Copy !req
996. A whole new set of tracks. See?Copy !req
997. And so it seemed to be.Copy !req
998. There were the tracks
joining each other, here,Copy !req
999. getting mixed up
with each other, there.Copy !req
1000. But to Pooh, quite plainly,
four sets of paw marks.Copy !req
1001. Piglet, whatever it was
that made these tracks,Copy !req
1002. has now been joined
by a whatever-it-is.Copy !req
1003. Yes.Copy !req
1004. And all of them are
proceeding in company.Copy !req
1005. Piglet, I wasn't exactly
expecting company.Copy !req
1006. Neither was I, Pooh.Copy !req
1007. So they went on,
feeling a little anxious now,Copy !req
1008. in case the animals in front
of them were of hostile intent.Copy !req
1009. Hello!Copy !req
1010. Look, look, Piglet, there's
something in that tree over there.Copy !req
1011. Is it one of the fiercer animals? Hello!Copy !req
1012. Yes. It's a jagular.Copy !req
1013. What do jagulars do, Pooh?Copy !req
1014. Well, jagulars always call, "Hello!"Copy !req
1015. And when you look up,
they drop on you.Copy !req
1016. I'm looking down, Pooh.Copy !req
1017. Hello!Copy !req
1018. Hey, Tigger, it's Pooh and Piglet.Copy !req
1019. Pooh! Piglet!Copy !req
1020. Why, it's only Tigger and Roo.Copy !req
1021. Come on.Copy !req
1022. Hello, Roo.Copy !req
1023. What are you
and Tigger doing up there?Copy !req
1024. I'm all right, but Tigger's stuck.Copy !req
1025. Help, somebody, please.
Get Christopher Robin.Copy !req
1026. It wasn't too long before word got backCopy !req
1027. to Christopher Robin and the others
that Tigger was in trouble.Copy !req
1028. Hello, Pooh. Hello, Piglet. What's up?Copy !req
1029. - Tigger and Roo are up.
- Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
1030. Roo, how did you get way up there?Copy !req
1031. Easy, Mama. We bounced up.Copy !req
1032. Oh, gracious. Do be careful, dear.Copy !req
1033. I'm all right, Mama, but Tigger's stuck.Copy !req
1034. Oh, what a shame. That's too bad.Copy !req
1035. No, that's good.Copy !req
1036. You see, he can't
bounce anybody up there.Copy !req
1037. Oh, dear! We'll just have
to get him down, somehow.Copy !req
1038. Down? Down? Do we have to?Copy !req
1039. Come on, everyone.
Let's hold the corner of my coat.Copy !req
1040. You're first, Roo. Jump!Copy !req
1041. Try not to fall too fast, dear.Copy !req
1042. Oh, thank goodness.Copy !req
1043. Gee, that was fun!Copy !req
1044. Come on, Tigger. It doesn't hurt. Jump!Copy !req
1045. You're next, Tigger.Copy !req
1046. - Jump!
- Jump?Copy !req
1047. Tiggers don't jump. They bounce.Copy !req
1048. Then bounce down.Copy !req
1049. Don't be ri-dic-cour-ous.
Tiggers only bounce up!Copy !req
1050. You can climb down, Tigger.Copy !req
1051. But tiggers can't climb down,
because their tails get in the way.Copy !req
1052. Hooray! That settles it.Copy !req
1053. If he won't jump
and he can't climb down,Copy !req
1054. then we'll just have to
leave him up there forever!Copy !req
1055. Forever?Copy !req
1056. If I ever get out of this,
I promise never to bounce again. Never!Copy !req
1057. I heard that, Tigger.Copy !req
1058. He promised!
Did you hear him promise?Copy !req
1059. I heard him. I heard him!
You heard him, didn't you?Copy !req
1060. Well, Tigger, your bouncing
really got you into trouble this time.Copy !req
1061. Say, who are you?Copy !req
1062. I'm the narrator.Copy !req
1063. Please, for goodness sakes,
narrate me down from here.Copy !req
1064. Very well. Hold on tight.Copy !req
1065. You can let go, Tigger.Copy !req
1066. Never.Copy !req
1067. But, Tigger, look for yourself.
You're perfectly safe.Copy !req
1068. What did I tell you, Tigger?Copy !req
1069. Come on. Back we go.Copy !req
1070. Good old terra firma.Copy !req
1071. Say, I'm so happy, I feel like bouncing.Copy !req
1072. You promised. You promised.Copy !req
1073. Oh, I did, didn't I?Copy !req
1074. You mean, I can't ever bounce again?Copy !req
1075. Never!Copy !req
1076. Never?Copy !req
1077. Not even just one teensy,
weensy bounce?Copy !req
1078. Not even a smidgen of a bounce.Copy !req
1079. Oh, the poor dear. Oh, that's too bad.Copy !req
1080. Christopher Robin,
I like the old, bouncy Tigger best.Copy !req
1081. So do I, Roo.Copy !req
1082. - I do, too.
- Me, too!Copy !req
1083. Of course, we all do.
Don't you agree, Rabbit?Copy !req
1084. - I... I...
- Well, Rabbit?Copy !req
1085. Well, I... I...Copy !req
1086. That is... What I mean...Copy !req
1087. Well?Copy !req
1088. I...Copy !req
1089. Oh, all right.Copy !req
1090. I guess I like the old Tigger better, too.Copy !req
1091. Oh, boy!
You mean, I can have my bounce back?Copy !req
1092. Come on, Rabbit.
Let's you and me bounce.Copy !req
1093. Good heavens! Me bounce?Copy !req
1094. Why, certainly!
Look, you've got the feet for it.Copy !req
1095. - I have?
- Sure. Come on, try it.Copy !req
1096. It makes you feel just great!Copy !req
1097. Well, say, it does, doesn't it?Copy !req
1098. Come on, everybody. Bounce!Copy !req
1099. Come on, bounce.Copy !req
1100. The wonderful thing about tiggers
is tiggers are wonderful thingsCopy !req
1101. Their tops are made out of the rubber
their bottoms are made out of springsCopy !req
1102. They're bouncy trouncy flouncy
pouncy fun, fun, fun, fun, funCopy !req
1103. But the most wonderful thing
about tiggers is I'm the only oneCopy !req
1104. I'm the only oneCopy !req
1105. And so, we come to the last chapterCopy !req
1106. in which Christopher Robin and Pooh
come to the enchanted place.Copy !req
1107. And we say goodbye.Copy !req
1108. Goodbye? Oh, no, please, can't we go
back to page one and do it over again?Copy !req
1109. Sorry, Pooh, but all stories
have an ending, you know.Copy !req
1110. Oh, bother.Copy !req
1111. Yes, the time had come at last.Copy !req
1112. Christopher Robin
was going away to school.Copy !req
1113. Nobody else in the forest knew
exactly why or where he was going.Copy !req
1114. All they knew was it had something
to do with "Twice times,"Copy !req
1115. and how to make
things called "ABC's,"Copy !req
1116. and where a place called Brazil is.Copy !req
1117. Pooh?Copy !req
1118. What do you like doing
best in the world?Copy !req
1119. What I like best is me going to visit you,Copy !req
1120. and you saying,
"How about a smackerel of honey?"Copy !req
1121. I like that, too.Copy !req
1122. But what I like best
is just doing nothing.Copy !req
1123. How do you do just nothing?Copy !req
1124. Well, it's when grownups ask,
"What are you going to do?"Copy !req
1125. And you say, "Nothing."
Then you go out and do it.Copy !req
1126. I like that. Let's do it all the time.Copy !req
1127. You know something, Pooh,Copy !req
1128. I'm not going to do
just nothing any more.Copy !req
1129. You mean, never again?Copy !req
1130. Well, not so much.Copy !req
1131. Pooh, when I'm away
just doing nothing,Copy !req
1132. will you come up here sometimes?Copy !req
1133. You mean, alone?Copy !req
1134. - Just me?
- Yes.Copy !req
1135. And, Pooh, promise
you won't forget me, ever?Copy !req
1136. Oh, I won't, Christopher, I promise.Copy !req
1137. Not even when I'm 100?Copy !req
1138. - How old shall I be then?
- Ninety-nine.Copy !req
1139. Silly old bear.Copy !req
1140. Wherever they go,Copy !req
1141. and whatever happens
to them on the way,Copy !req
1142. in that enchanted place
on top of the forest,Copy !req
1143. a little bear will always be waiting.Copy !req
