I'm sure ... Wasn't that fun Piglet?

Yes Pooh, but, but the best party is when it stops.

Well in the next chapter there's a great deal of bouncing.

There is? Oh I think that I just remembered something that I forgot to do yesterday and can't be able to do tomorrow, so I suppose I really ought to go back and do it now. Ah, good bye Pooh.

Good bye, Piglet. Now is the next chapter all about me?

No, no, it's mostly about Tigger.

Oh, bother.

But you're in it.

Oh good. What will I be doing?

Well Pooh, you'll be sitting in your thoughtful spot, thinking as usual.

Think, think, think.

And while you were thinking all of a sudden-

Hello Pooh! I'm Tigger! T I G G E R. And that spells Tigger.

I know. You've bounced me before.

I did? Oh, yes, I recall you now. You're the one with stuff and fluff.

And you're sitting on it.

Yeah, and it's comfy too. Well, I've got to go now. I've got a lot of bouncing to do.

Well there goes Tigger, always bouncing in on his friends, who may least expect him.

Hello Piglet! I'm Tigger!

Oh Tigger! You scared me!

Oh shucks, it was just one of my little pounces.

It was? Oh thank you, Tigger.

Oh yeah, I'm saving my best pounce for the long eared.

There. That should .... Oh, no

Hello Rabbit! I'm Tigger! T I double G

Oh please, please, don't spell it. Oh, dear, oh dear, just look at my beautiful garden.

Yuck, messy, isn't it?

Messy, messy? It's ruined! It's ruined Tigger! Oh, why don't you ever stop bouncing?

Why? That's what Tiggers do best!

The wonderful thing about Tiggers

Is Tiggers are wonderful things

Their tops are made out of rubber

Their bottoms are made out of springs

They're bouncy, trouncy, flouncy, pouncy

Fun, fun, fun, fun, FUN!

But the most wonderful thing about Tiggers

Is I'm the only one.

I'm the only one

Order! Order please! Now I say Tigger's getting so bouncy nowadays that it's time we taught him a lesson. No matter how much we like him!

.... he just bounces too much.

Er, excuse me Rabbit, but perhaps if we could think of a way of an unbouncing Tigger, it would be a very good idea. ha?

Exactly! Just what I ... What do you feel Pooh?

Pooh! Haven't you been listening to what Rabbit's been saying?

I listened, but then I had a small piece of fluff in my ear. Could you say it again, please Rabbit?

Well, where should I start from?

From the moment the fluff got in my ear.

When was that?

I don't know, I couldn't hear properly.

Pooh, we were just trying to think of a way to get the bounce out of Tigger.

Aha, I've got a splendid idea! Now listen! We'll take Tigger for a long exploration some place where he's never been, and we lose him there.

Lose him?

Oh we'll find him again next morning, and mark my words, he'll be a humble Tigger. A small and sad Tigger. And "oh Rabbit am I glad to see you" Tigger. And it'll take the bounces out of him. That's why. Now all in favor say " Aye "

Aye? Pooh! Pooh!

Oh here.

Good, just good.....

So it was agreed that they would start the next morning, which incidentally turned out to be cold and misty. Pooh as usual had a little something along to sustain himself. Now as Tigger kept bouncing farther and farther into the mist, Rabbit thought it was a good time to lose Tigger.

Here's our chance! Quick! Over here! Hide!

Tigger's lost now, isn't he, Rabbit.

Oh he is lost, all right Piglet.

Oh goody, this is ...of funful.

My splendid idea worked! Now home we go.

Good, yum, yum, it's time for lunch.

Hellooooo!

Oh my goodness! Hide!

Hellooooo! That's funny. We must be lost. HaLLOO! Hey you blokes, where are you?

Shush!

I am shushed.

Hey! Where in the heck are you guys? Halloo! Rabbit! Piglet! Where are you? Halloo.

Hooray, hooray we got it. Now come on, hurry. Let's head for home.

Well, Rabbit was certain that everything was going according to plan. And so it seemed to be. But sometime later on the bottom of page 123-

It's a funny thing everything looks the same in the mist.

He's right Piglet, it's the very same sandpit.

I think so too Pooh.

Well it's lucky I know the forest so well, or we make it lost. Come on, follow me!

Now Pooh was getting tired of seeing the same sandpit and he suspected it if following them about, because whichever direction they started in they always seemed to end up at it.

Oh, Rabbit.

Yes?

Say Rabbit, how would it be if as soon as we are out of sight of this old pit we just try to find it again.

.....

Well, you see, we keep looking for home, but we keep finding this pit, so I .... that if we look for this pit we might find home.

I don't see much sense in that. If I want ... this pit .... of course I should find it, I'll prove it for you, wait here.

So Pooh and Piglet waited in the mist for Rabbit and they waited and waited and waited. And all awhile Pooh's thoughts kept returning to his honey pots at home.

What, what was that Pooh?

My tummy rumbled. Now then, come on, let's go home.

But Pooh! Do you know the way?

No Piglet, but there're 12 pots of honey in my cupboard and they have been calling to my tummy.

They have?

Yes Piglet. I couldn't hear them before because Rabbit went talk. I think I know where they're calling from so come on, we'll just follow my tummy.

Well, they walked off together and for a long time Piglet said nothing so as not to interrupt Pooh's honey pots. And sure enough as the mist got thinner and just when Piglet began to know where he was-

Hello there, you two blokes. Where have you been?

We've been trying to find out our way back home.

Pooh, I don't think Rabbit's splendid idea worked.

Hey, where is the long eared, anyway?

He must still be missing in the mist.

Well, leave it to me, I'll bounce ........

Meanwhile Rabbit was still wandering around in the mist. By now he was lost and bewildered. And to make matters worse his mind was beginning to play tricks on him.

What's that? Pooh? Piglet! Help!

Hello Rabbit!

Tigger! But, but you're supposed to be lost!

Ah, Tiggers never get lost, bunny boy.

Never get lost?

Of course not.

Oh no.

Come on, Rabbit! Let's go home! Hang on!

So they started back. And Rabbit was now a humiliated Rabbit. A lost and found Rabbit. And "oh why oh why do these things happen to me" Rabbit.

And now we come to the next chapter in which the first snowfall had covered the Hundred Acre Wood. And in which Tigger learns that even bouncing can be overdone. On this they Roo was waiting for Tigger to take him out to play.
