The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Page #4

Oh, hallo, am I glad to see you? It's more friendly with two. Now, you go that way and I'll go this way. You didn't see anything, did you ? Neither did I.

Now the very blustery night turned into a very rainy night. And Pooh kept his lonely vigil, hour after hour, after hour, until at last Pooh fell fast asleep and began to dream.

[Tigger] Heffalumps and Woozles, Heffalumps and Woozles steal honey, beware, beware!

They're black they're brown they're up their down

They're in they're out they're all about

They're far they're near they're gone they're here

They're quick and slick and insincere

Beware Beware Be a very wary bear

A Heffalump or Woozle is very confusel

The Heffalump or Woozle is very sly

sly - sly - sly

They come in ones and twoosels

but if they so choosels

before your eyes you'll see them multiply

ply - ply - ply

They're extra-ordinary so better be wary

Because they come in every shape and size

size - size - size

If honey is what you covet you'll find that they love it

Because they guzzle up the thing you prize

They're green they're blue they're pink they're white

They're round they're square they're a terrible sight

They tie themselves in horrible knots

They come in stripes or polka-dots

Beware Beware Be a very wary bear

{musical interlude}

They're extra-ordinary so better be wary

Because they come in every shape and size

size - size - size

If honey's what you covet you'll find that they love it

Because they guzzle up the things you prize

They're black they're brown they're up their down

They're in they're out they're all about

They're far they're near they're gone they're here

They're quick and slick and insincere

Beware Beware Beware Beware Beware ....

[Pooh] Is it raining in there? It's raining out here too.

[Narrator] As a matter of fact it was raining all over the Hundred Acre Wood. There was a thunderstorm on page 71, and on page 73 there was a bit of a cloudburst. It rained, and it rained, and it rained.

The rain rain rain came down down down

in rushing rising rivlets

Till the river crept out of its bed

and crept right into Piglet's

For Piglet he was frightened with quite a rightful fright

And so in desperation a message he did write

Help!

P-P-Piglet

Me!

He placed it in a bottle and it floated out of sight

And the rain rain rain came down down down

so Piglet started bailing

He was unaware atop his chair

while bailing he was sailing

And the rain rain rain came down down down

and the flood rose up-up-upper

Pooh too was caught and so he thought

I must rescue my supper

Ten honey pots he rescued enough to see him through

But as he sopped up his supper

The river sopped up Pooh

And the water twirled and tossed him

In a honey pot

... rain rain rain came down down down

when the rain rain rain came down down down ... (fade)

[Narrator] So the Hundred Acre Wood got floodier and floodier, but the water couldn't come up to Christopher Robin's house, so that's where everyone was gathering. It was a time of great excitement. But in the midst of all excitement Eeyore stubbornly stuck to his task of house hunting for Owl.

[Eeyore] There's one. Cozy cottage. Nice location. Bit damp for Owl though.

Meanwhile little Roo made an important discovery.

[Roo] Look! I've rescued a bottle! And it's got something in it too!

[Christopher Robin] It's a message! And it says: "Help! P-P-Piglet. ME!" Owl, you fly over to Piglet's house, and tell him we'll make a rescue.

A rescue ! Yes, yes, of course, of course.

So Owl flew out over the flood and he soon spotted two tiny objects below him. One was little Piglet caught in the whirlpool and the other was Pooh trying to get the last bit of honey from the pot.

[Pooh] Yum, yum.

[Piglet] Oh, Owl, I don't need ... but I'm afraid, I'm scared.

[Owl] Now, now Piglet, chin up and all that sort of thing. A rescue is being thought of. Be brave, little Piglet !

[Piglet] It's awfully hard to be brave when you're such a small animal.

[Owl] Then to divert your small mind from your unfortunate predicament I should tell you an amusing antidote. It concerns a distant cousin of mine who became so frightened during a flood that he...

[Piglet] I beg your pardon Owl, but I t-t-think we're coming to a very big waterfall.

[Owl] Please, no interruptions.

[Owl] Ah, there you are, Pooh Bear. Now, to continue my story.

[Christopher Robin] Look! There's Pooh ! Over here Pooh!

Oh, hello Christopher Robin.

Pooh, thank goodness you're safe. Have you seen Piglet?

Excuse me, I'm here. What I mean is, here I am.

Pooh ! You rescued Piglet!

I did ?

Yes. And it was a very brave thing to do.

It was?

You're our hero!

I am

And as soon as the flood is over I shall give you a hero party!

(Hooray's from everybody!)

[Christopher Robin] Attention everybody ! Now this party is a hero party, because of what someone did. And that someone is...

[Eeyore] I found it.

[Christopher Robin] Found what, Eeyore ?

[Eeyore] House for Owl.

[Owl] I say Eeyore, good job.

[Piglet] Oh, isn't that wonderful. Where is it Eeyore?

[Eeyore] If you want to follow me, I'll show it to you.

So everyone followed Eeyore. Then to the surprise of all, Eeyore stopped right in front of...

[Rabbit] Piglet's house?

[Christopher Robin] Why are you stopping here Eeyore?

[Eeyore] This is it. Owl's new house.

[Rabbit] Oh dear. Mercy me.

[Piglet] Oh dear. Mercy me too.

[Eeyore] Name's on it and everything. W O L. That spells Owl.

[Owl] Bless my soul. So it does!

[Eeyore] Well, what do you think of it?

[Christopher Robin] It is a nice house Eeyore, but...

[Kanga] It is a lovely house Eeyore, but...

[Piglet] It's, it's the best house in the whole world.

[Pooh] Tell them it's your house Piglet.

No Pooh. This house belongs (sniff) to our very good friend, Owl.

[Pooh] But Piglet ! Where will you live?

Well, I guess I shall live, I suppose I shall live-

[Pooh] With me! You shall live with me! Won't you Piglet?

With you? Oh, thank you Pooh Bear, of course I will.

[Christopher Robin] Piglet, that was a very grand thing to do.

[Rabbit] A heroic thing to do.

[Pooh] Christopher Robin, can you make a one hero party into a two hero party?

[Christopher Robin] Of course, we can, silly ol' bear.

And so Pooh was a hero for saving Piglet, and Piglet was a hero for giving Owl his grand home in the beech tree.

We never will forget our hero of the wet

Our quick thinking unsinking Pooh bear

And Piglet who indeed helped out a friend in need

For truly they're the heroes of the day

So we say Hip Hip Hooray for the Piglet and the Pooh

Piglet and Pooh we salute you...

... [Gopher] What's all that stomping and singing and silly shenanigans...

for deeds of bravery and generosity

Hip Hip Hooray

Hip Hip Hooray
