An adventure
of Winnie-The-Pooh
In which Pooh goes out and Piglet after him
It was a sunny morning in the Hundred Acre
Woods.
‘Just the thing’, thought Pooh. ‘Yes,
perfect for a nice walk’. He set off, first along the meadow and then along the
forest path.
As he walked along, he hummed a little
ditty to himself. It went something like this; “oh a sunny, sunny morning, with
a honey honey jar……………………….”
It wasn’t until a while later when he sang
his ditty a second time that he felt for his honey jar and saw that he’d
forgotten it. “Oh Bother” Pooh sighed. ‘Well I’ll just have to go back for it’,
he decided.
Looking around Pooh wondered where exactly
he was. He wondered if he had walked past those pines. The pine stand did look
similar.
‘Well, anyhow,’ Pooh reasoned to himself. ‘If
I simply walk back the way I came…that is, walk backwards, so as not to confuse
myself, then I shall walk back home.’ And nodding each time he said the word
‘back’ to assure himself that this would work; he began shuffling back.
He even found a rhythm to his feet, and
sang; oh a sunny sunny morning, with no honey honey jar, it’s a funny funny
feeling with no honey honey jar…he even
thought oh rhyming in ‘runny’ but then decided against it as it reminded him of
how delicious runny honey was.
Sometime later, as Pooh was tiring of his
fun he walked into something hard. “Ugh” grunted Pooh, rubbing his back. “Ouch,
hmm mm” He continued, staring up at the pine he had stumbled into.
The stand of pines seemed familiar. He
decided to sit down for a moment, to catch his breath as it were. As he was
sitting he held his back, and then his stomach too. Feeling hungry and a little
sorry for himself.
Pooh scratched his nose, deep in thought.
Yes, he did know these pines. The more he thought about it, the more Pooh
realised that yes, these Pines were the ones close to Owl’s house.
“If Owl has some honey… then I wouldn’t
have to walk home again,’ Pooh wondered,‘hmm, yes’. With this thought in mind
Pooh set off once again – forwards this time.
When Pooh arrived at Owl’s no one answered.
Pooh called out. ‘Owl, oh Owl, are you there?’ He pulled on the bell pull and
he knocked on the knocker. Finally he pushed on the door and finding it open
wandered in. Pooh carefully looked if there was any honey in the kitchen,
hoping owl wouldn’t mind. Then, upon finding the cupboards empty, except for
some feathers, settled in one of owl’s fireplace chairs.
Now as it happens Piglet had ventured out
to go see Pooh, and finding Pooh out, to see Owl. Having arrived, Piglet called
up from the forest floor, “Owl? Owl? It’s Piglet”.
Pooh pulled himself out of owl’s chair “Not
home” He called.
Piglet seemed a long way down when Pooh
leaned through the door. “Oh,” squealed Piglet, “it’s you” “Well, I, I suppose
I was looking for yer” Piglet continued.
Pooh
leaned out a little further – feeling queasy now. Piglet’s words became muddled
in his head.
“Oh” he said, then again “oh Piglet, I’m
not feeling so well”
“Pooh?” Piglet stood on tiptoe.
“Yes, yes I must have the flu” Pooh nodded collapsing back in to owl’s
chair.

Pooh bear rubbed his tummy which was
feeling quite empty by now. He climbed the beach tree, pushed on owl’s door.
He felt hungry and a little tired too.
Meanwhile Owl had gone out to visit some
relatives.
Soon after noon, Piglet walked to rabbits,
hoping to find out what had been shuffling around in the forest. Later, finding
Pooh’s house empty, he tried owls. ‘Owl, owl, are you home?’ Piglet called.
Pooh woke, “No, no. He’s not. But I’m here,
just resting..."
