The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Page #2

Nobody.

Somebody's there, because somebody must have said "nobody". Oh Rabbit isn't that you?

Noooo.

But isn't that Rabbit's voice?

I don't think so, it isn't meant to be.

Hallo, Rabbit!

Oh, oh, hello Pooh Bear. Uh... Pooh Bear? A, uh...uh...What a pleasant surprise! Uh, uh... how about lunch?

Oh, thank you Rabbit.

And help yourself, Pooh. Would you like condensed milk, or honey on your bread?

Both. But, never mind the bread, please. Just a small helping, if you please?

There you are. Is a... something wrong?

Well, I didn't mean a little larger small helping.

But perhaps you'd save time if you took a whole jar.

Thank you Rabbit.

So Pooh ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate, and ate... and ATE! Until at last he said to Rabbit in a rather sticky voice:

I must be going now. Good bye, Rabbit.

Well, good bye, if you're sure you won't have any more.

Is there any more?

No, there isn't.

I thought not. Oh, oh, oooo help and bother. I'm stuck.

Oh, dear, oh gracious, well, it all comes from eating too much.

Oh it all comes of not having front doors big enough.

Oh dear, it's no use, there's only one thing to do, I'll get Christopher Robin. Oh, dear, oh dear, oh dear, oh my, heavens to Betsy.

Well, if it isn't Pooh Bear.

Oh hallo Owl.

Splendid day... to be up and about one's business... Oh, I say, are you stuck?

No, no, just resting and thinking and humming to myself.

You, sir, are stuck. A wedged bear in a great tightness. In a word, irremovable. Now obviously this situation calls for an expert.

Somebody call for excavation expert? I'm not in the book, but I'm at your service. Gopher's the name. Here's my card. What's your problem?

Yes, yes, yes, yes. It seems the entrance to Rabbit's domicile is impassable. To be exact, plugged.

And you want me to dig it out?

Precisely, I say, it's over here my good fellow.

Fist thing to be done is get rid of that bear. He's gumming up the whole project.

Dash it all, he is the project.

Umm... Hard digging, might hit bedrock, danger can happen, risky. Needs planks for bracing. Big job, take two, three days.

Three days? What about lunches?

No problem, I always go home for lunch.

Oh, this will run into money.

I say, how much

Er, do the job for hourly wage, plus cover material plus overtime plus 10 percent.

And your estimate?

Can't give you an estimate, too risky.

Blast it all.

Good id! Will dynamite, save time.

What's the charge?

The charge? Oh, about seven sticks of dynamite.

Oh no no no, the cost, the charge in money?

No charge account, I work strictly cash.

Obviously, but I should think...

Well I can't stand around lollygaging all day, I've got a tight schedule...Think it over. Let me know. You've got my card. I'm not in the book, you know.

Oh dash it all, he's gone.

[Pooh] After all, he's not in the book you know.

Oh.

[Rabbit] Here we come, don't worry.

[Christopher Robin] Cheer up, Pooh bear, we're coming. We'll get you out.

[Eeyore] Well, maybe.

[Christopher Robin] Silly old bear, here, give me your paw.

Oh, it's no use, I'm stuck.

Well, if we can't pull you out Pooh, perhaps we can push you back.

[Rabbit] Oh, no, not that. Oh, my gracious, oh dear. Having got this far, it seems a pity to waste it.

[Christopher Robin] Pooh bear, there's only one thing we can do, wait for you to get thin again.

Oh bother, how long will that take?

[Eeyore] Days, weeks, months, who knows.

[Rabbit] Oh dear, if I have to face that, that thing for months. ... Make the best of it. Oh, no! There it is again! Well, I'll just turn it to the wall. Oh, dear! Yes, a frame! Aha! No, no, no, no. No. Nice.... And a splash of color. Oh, it, it, it just doesn't have that rustic and proper look. There. A hunting trophy. I know just the thing.

Something tickles.

Oh, Pooh! You mess up my moose!

[Kanga] Pooh, Roo has a little surprise for you.

[Roo] Flowers!

[Pooh] Honeysuckle!

[Kanga] No, Pooh. You don't eat them--- you smell them.

[Pooh] Oh. (Sniff)

[Rabbit] It's not bad, not bad at all. It's rather good I think.

[Pooh] Awwww.... (Sniff) Awwww...

[Rabbit] Oh, no, no.

[Pooh] Chooo!

[Rabbit] Oh, no, no, help! Why did I ever invite that bear to lunch? Why, oh why, oh why?

While Pooh's bottom was stuck at the top of page 28, his top was stuck at the bottom of page 30. So both ends waited to get thin again. Day after day, night after lonely night.

I wonder what's for breakfast? (Snore) Breakfast, (snore) lunch. A lunchbox!

[Gopher] It certainly is. I'm working at swing-shift you know. Time for my midnight snack. Say, aren't you that stuck up bear? I still think I can blast you out of there.

What sort of lunch is in that lunchbox?

[Gopher] Here, a... let me see here... summer squash, summer salad, succotash, custard, and honey.

Honey?

[Rabbit] Honey! Oh, no!

Could you spare a small smackerel?

Say, you have to do something about that speech impediment, sonny.

Oh, thank you Gopher.

[Rabbit] Oh, no, not that, no, no, no, no, no, no. Not one drop!

But Rabbit, I wasn't going to eat it. I was just going to taste it.

[Rabbit] I'll taste it for you.

[Gopher] That supercilious scoundrel confiscated my honey!

[Rabbit] DON'T FEED THE BEAR!

[Gopher] I'm gonna skidaddle. I'm not in the book... Eeeeyaaaa...And I'm a dinkdad glad of it.

And then one morning, when Rabbit was beginning to think that he might never be able to use his front door again, it happened.

He budged! Hooray! Christopher Robin! Christopher Robin! He bidged! He badged! He boodged! ...

Hurray for you

Hurray for me

Hurray, Hurray

The Pooh will soon be free

Dum da dum pa rum pa rum pa rum

Now the time has come for proving what the diet did for Pooh

And since we pledged he'd be unwedged that's what we're going to do

He'll be pulled and he'll be tugged and eventually unplugged

We'll have a tug of war, To open rabbit's door

Think heave-ish

Think ho-ish

And out the Pooh will go-ish

For mind over matter has made the Pooh un-fatter

Heave!

Ho!

Heave!

Ho!

Heave Heave Heave Heave Heeeeeeeeave. (Pop!)

[Rabbit] There he goes!

[Gopher] Suffering sassafras. He is sailing clean out of the book. Quick, turn the page.

[Eeyore] Stuck again.

[Christopher Robin] Don't worry, Pooh! We'll get you out.

[Pooh] No hurry! Take your time. Yum, yum.

Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bear

Yum Yum Yum Yum

Time for something sweet

[Narrator] So we come to the next chapter, in which...

[Pooh] But I haven't finished yet!

[Narrator] But Pooh, you're in the next chapter.

[Pooh] Oh, what happens to me?

[Narrator] Well, let's turn the page and find out.

[Narrator] Now one fine day the east wind traded places with the west wind, and that's turned things up a bit all through the Hundred Acre Wood. Now, on this blustery day Pooh decided to visit his thoughtful spot.

[Pooh] Yes, and on the way I made up a little hum. And it hummed something like this:
