00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,839
Speaker 1: Chapter seven of Winnie the Pooh by A. A. Milney.

2
00:00:04,719 --> 00:00:10,119
This liveryvox recording is in the public domain. Chapter seven,

3
00:00:10,839 --> 00:00:13,800
in which Kanga and baby Roo come to the forest

4
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:19,839
and Piglet has a bath. Nobody seemed to know where

5
00:00:19,879 --> 00:00:23,120
they came from, but there they were in the forest,

6
00:00:23,399 --> 00:00:28,320
Kanga and baby Roo. When Pooh asked Christopher Robin, how

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:33,280
did they come here? Christopher Robin said, in the usual way,

8
00:00:33,359 --> 00:00:36,799
if you know what I mean. Pooh and Pooh, who didn't,

9
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,359
said oh. Then he nodded his head twice and said

10
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:46,640
in the usual way. Aw. Then he went to call

11
00:00:46,719 --> 00:00:49,039
upon his friend Pickelet to see what he thought about it,

12
00:00:49,719 --> 00:00:52,960
And at Pickleth's house he found Rabbit. So they all

13
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,679
talked about it together. What I don't like about it

14
00:00:56,759 --> 00:01:01,399
is this, said rabbit. Here are we you Pooh, and you,

15
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:07,879
Piglet and me, And suddenly and your said Pooh and ere,

16
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:13,760
And then suddenly and all said Pooh and owl, And

17
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:18,480
then all of us sudden oh and ere said Pooh.

18
00:01:18,519 --> 00:01:24,280
I wish forgetting him. Here we are, said rabbit, very

19
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:30,439
slowly and carefully, all of us. And then suddenly we

20
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,359
wake up one morning, and what do we find we

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,799
find a strange animal among us, an animal of whom

22
00:01:37,799 --> 00:01:42,200
we have never even heard before, an animal who carries

23
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:46,480
her family about with her in her pocket. Suppose I

24
00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:50,040
carried my family about with me in my pocket? How

25
00:01:50,079 --> 00:01:55,680
many pockets should I want? Sixteen? Said Picklet. Seventeen, isn't it,

26
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,079
said rabbit? And one more for our handkerchief. That's eighteen

27
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:04,560
eighteen pockets in one suit. I haven't time. There was

28
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:08,639
a long and thoughtful silence, and then Pooh, who had

29
00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:13,280
been frowning very hard for some minutes, said I make

30
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:21,759
it fifteen? What said rabbit? Fifteen? Fifteen? What your family?

31
00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:25,800
What about them? Pooh rubbed his nose and said that

32
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:29,680
he thought Rabbit had been talking about his family? Did I,

33
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:36,039
said rabbit carelessly? Yes, you said never mind, Pooh, said

34
00:02:36,039 --> 00:02:39,719
Picklet impatiently. The question is what are we to do

35
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:46,199
about Kanga oh I see, said Pooh. The best way,

36
00:02:46,479 --> 00:02:49,000
said Rabbit, would be this. The best way would be

37
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,560
to steal baby Roo and hide him. And then when

38
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:59,080
Tanga says where's baby Roo? We say ah ah ha,

39
00:02:59,719 --> 00:03:06,759
said Pooh, practicing ah how uh haw. Of course, he

40
00:03:06,879 --> 00:03:11,280
went on, we could say ah haw even if we

41
00:03:11,439 --> 00:03:17,080
hadn't stolen baby Roo, Pooh said Rabbit. Kindly, you haven't

42
00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:24,000
any brain, I know, said Pooh, humbly. We say aha

43
00:03:24,039 --> 00:03:27,639
so that Kanga knows that we know where baby Roo is.

44
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:32,520
Aha means we'll tell you where baby Roo is if

45
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,599
you promised to go away from the forest and never

46
00:03:35,719 --> 00:03:40,319
come back. Now, don't talk while I think Pooh went

47
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,840
into a corner and try saying aha in that sort

48
00:03:43,879 --> 00:03:47,080
of voice. Sometimes it seemed to him that it did

49
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:50,840
mean what Rabbit said, and sometimes it seemed to him

50
00:03:50,879 --> 00:03:56,960
that it didn't. I suppose it's just practice, he thought.

51
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,879
I wonder if Kanga will have to practice too, so

52
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,120
west to understand it. There's just one thing, said Picklet,

53
00:04:06,199 --> 00:04:10,159
fidgeting a lot. I was talking to Christopher Robin, and

54
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:14,879
he said that a kanga was generally regarded as one

55
00:04:14,919 --> 00:04:18,839
of the fiercer animals. I am not frightened the fierce

56
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,000
animals in the ordinary way, but it is well known

57
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,959
that if one of the fiercer animals is deprived of

58
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:30,279
its young, it becomes as fierce as two of the

59
00:04:30,319 --> 00:04:35,079
fiercer animals, in which Kai saha is perhaps a foolish

60
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,319
thing to say, Pillot said, rabbit taking out a pencil

61
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,839
and licking the in of it. You haven't any pluck.

62
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:48,480
It's hard to be brave, said Pilet, sniffling slightly, when

63
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:53,279
you're only a very small animal. Rabbit, who had begun

64
00:04:53,319 --> 00:04:56,720
to write very busily, looked up and said, it is

65
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,800
because you are a very small animal that you will

66
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:04,560
be useful in the adventure before us. Piglet was so

67
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,759
excited at the idea of being useful that he forgot

68
00:05:07,759 --> 00:05:10,720
to be frightened any more. And when Rabbit went on

69
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:14,639
to say that kangas were only fierce during the winter months,

70
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,800
being at other times of an affectionate disposition, he could

71
00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:22,240
hardly sit still. He was so eager to begin being

72
00:05:22,399 --> 00:05:28,959
useful at once. What about me, said Pooh sadly. I

73
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:35,639
suppose I shan't be useful. Never mind, Pooh, said Picklet comfortingly.

74
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:41,120
Another time, perhaps without Pooh, said Rabbit solemnly, as he

75
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:47,680
sharpened his pencil, the adventure would be impossible, Oh, said Picklet,

76
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:51,399
and tried not to look disappointed. But Pooh went into

77
00:05:51,399 --> 00:05:54,000
a corner of the room and said proudly to himself,

78
00:05:54,680 --> 00:06:02,040
impossible without me, that sort of bear. Now listen, all

79
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:04,720
of you said Rabbit when he had finished writing, and

80
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:08,720
Pooh and Piglet sat listening very eagerly with their mouths open.

81
00:06:09,639 --> 00:06:14,759
This was what Rabbit read out plan to capture baby Rou.

82
00:06:16,639 --> 00:06:21,439
One general remarks, Kanga runs faster than any of us,

83
00:06:21,519 --> 00:06:28,199
even me. Two more general remarks, Kanga never takes her

84
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,639
eye off baby Ru except when he safely buttoned up

85
00:06:31,639 --> 00:06:35,759
in her pocket. Rie. Therefore, if we are to capture

86
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,959
baby Roo, we must get a long start, because Kanga

87
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,560
runs faster than any of us, even me. See one

88
00:06:44,959 --> 00:06:48,680
four A thought. If Ru had jumped out of Kanga's

89
00:06:48,680 --> 00:06:52,399
pocket and Picklet had jumped in, Kanga wouldn't know the difference,

90
00:06:52,759 --> 00:06:58,879
because Piglet is a very small animal five like Ru. Six.

91
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,360
But Kanga would have to be looking the other way first,

92
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:07,079
so as not to see Picklet jumping in seven c

93
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:13,879
two eight. Another thought, But if Pooh were talking to

94
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,920
her very excitedly, she might look the other way for

95
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,600
a moment nine, and then I could run away with

96
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:27,079
Rue ten quickly eleven, and Kanga wouldn't discover the difference

97
00:07:27,199 --> 00:07:33,519
until afterwards. Well, Rabbit read this out proudly, and for

98
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:36,600
a little while after he had read it, nobody said anything.

99
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,879
And then Picclet, who had been opening and shutting his

100
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:44,560
mouth without making any noise, managed to say, very huskily,

101
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:53,000
and afterwards, how do you mean when Kanga does discover

102
00:07:53,079 --> 00:07:58,160
the difference, then we all say ah ha, all three

103
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:05,759
of us. Yes, Oh, why what's the trouble, Piclet, Nothing,

104
00:08:06,079 --> 00:08:09,439
said Picklet. As long as we all three say it.

105
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:13,000
As long as we all three say it, said Picklet.

106
00:08:13,279 --> 00:08:16,439
I don't mind, he said, But I shouldn't care to

107
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:20,680
say aha by myself. It wouldn't sound nearly so well

108
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,040
by the way, he said, you are quite sure about

109
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:30,199
what you said about the winter months the winter months, Yes,

110
00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:35,240
only being fierce in the winter months. Oh, yes, yes,

111
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,960
that's all right. Well, pooh you see what you have

112
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:44,440
to do? No, said pooh Bear, Not yet, he said.

113
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:49,279
What do I do? Well, you just have to talk

114
00:08:49,519 --> 00:08:54,799
very hard to Kanga so she doesn't notice anything. Oh

115
00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:00,639
what about anything you like? You mean, like, uh, telling

116
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,360
her a little bit of poetry or something. That's it,

117
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:09,639
said Rabbit splendid. Now come along, so they all went

118
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:13,600
out to look for Kanga. Kanga and Rue were spending

119
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,559
a quiet afternoon in a sandy part of the forest.

120
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,559
Maybe Ru was practicing very small jumps in the sand

121
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,720
and falling down mouse holes and climbing out of them,

122
00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:28,240
and Kanga was fidgeting about and saying, just one more jump, dear,

123
00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:32,000
and then we must go home. And at that moment

124
00:09:32,360 --> 00:09:38,759
who should come stumping up the hill but Pooh, good afternoon, Kangle,

125
00:09:39,639 --> 00:09:44,759
Good afternoon, Pooh. Look at me jumping, sweet Rue and

126
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:52,879
fell into another mousehole. Hallo, Rue, my little fellow. We

127
00:09:52,879 --> 00:09:57,279
were just going home, said Kanga. Good afternoon, Rabbit, Good afternoon, Picklet.

128
00:09:58,480 --> 00:10:01,159
Rabbit and Picklet, who I had now come up from

129
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,759
the other side of the hill, said good afternoon and

130
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:08,919
hello Ru. And Ru asked them to look at him jumping,

131
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:15,799
so they stayed and looked, and Kanga looked too. Oh,

132
00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:19,639
Kanga said Pooh, after Rabbit had winked at him twice.

133
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:24,600
I don't know if you were interested in poetry at all.

134
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:33,000
Hardly at all, said Kanga. Oh, said Pooh, Ru deer,

135
00:10:33,399 --> 00:10:35,759
just one more jump and then we must go home.

136
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:40,840
There was a short silence while Rue fell down another mousehole.

137
00:10:42,159 --> 00:10:45,960
Go on, said Rabbit, in a loud whisper behind his paw.

138
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,399
Talking of poetry, said Pooh, I made up a little

139
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:57,879
piece's eye was coming along. It went like this. Uh. Now,

140
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:04,039
let me see fancy, said Keanka. Now, ru deer, you'll

141
00:11:04,159 --> 00:11:08,320
like this piece of poetry, said rabbit. You love it,

142
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,480
said Picklet. You must listen very carefully, said rabbit, so

143
00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:18,080
is not to miss any of it, said Picklet. Oh, yes,

144
00:11:18,399 --> 00:11:22,000
said Keanka, But she still looked at baby room. How

145
00:11:22,039 --> 00:11:25,919
did it go? Pooh? Said rabbit. Pooh gave a little

146
00:11:26,039 --> 00:11:32,679
cough and began lines written by a bear of very

147
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:40,039
little brain. On Monday, when the sun is hot, I

148
00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:45,039
wonder to myself a lot. Now, is it true or

149
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,240
is it not? That what is which? And which is what?

150
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:55,919
On Tuesday, when it hails and snows, the feeling on

151
00:11:56,159 --> 00:12:01,559
me grows and grows that hardly anybody knows if those

152
00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:07,279
are these are? These are those? On Wednesday, when the

153
00:12:07,519 --> 00:12:11,639
guy is blue and I have nothing else to do,

154
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,679
I sometimes wonder if it's true that who is what?

155
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:23,519
And what is who? On Thursday, when it starts to

156
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:29,600
freeze and woar, frost twinkles on the trees, how very

157
00:12:29,639 --> 00:12:35,399
readily one sees that these are whose? And whose are these?

158
00:12:36,919 --> 00:12:41,679
On Friday? Yes it is, isn't it? Said Kanga, Not

159
00:12:41,799 --> 00:12:45,840
waiting to hear what happened on Friday. Just one more job, Ruder,

160
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:51,080
and then we really must be going. Rabbit gave Pooh

161
00:12:51,159 --> 00:12:57,360
a hurrying up sort of nudge, talking of poetry, said Pooh, quickly,

162
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,679
have you ever known noticed that tree right over there? Where?

163
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,360
Said Keangum? Now Ru right over there, said Pooh, pointing

164
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:13,559
behind Kanga's back. No, said Kenkum. Now jump in root

165
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,720
ear and we'll go home. You ought to look at

166
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,039
that tree right over there, said Rabbit. Shall I lift

167
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,960
you in Ru? And he picked up Ru in his paws.

168
00:13:24,799 --> 00:13:29,159
I can see a bird in it from here, said Pooh.

169
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,799
Or is it a fish? You ought to see that

170
00:13:32,879 --> 00:13:36,120
bird from here, said rabbit. Unless it's a fish, it

171
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:40,320
isn't a fish, it's a bird, said Piglet. So it is,

172
00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:47,080
said Rabbit. Is it a starling or a blackbird? Said Pooh.

173
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,240
That's the whole question, said rabbit. Is it a blackbird

174
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,480
or a starling? And then at last Kanga did turn

175
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:56,960
her head to look, and at the moment that her

176
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:00,360
head was turned, Rabbit said, in a loud voice, in

177
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:05,080
you go, Rue, and in jumped Piglet into Kanga's pocket

178
00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,759
and off scampered rabbit with ruin his paws as fast

179
00:14:08,799 --> 00:14:14,080
as he could. Why where's rabbit, said Kanga, turning round again.

180
00:14:15,039 --> 00:14:18,679
Are you all right, rue deer? Piglet made a squeaky

181
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:22,559
rue noise from the bottom of Keanga's pocket. Rabbit had

182
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:26,759
to go away, said Pooh. I think he thought of

183
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,360
something he had to go and see about. Suddenly, and Picklet,

184
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:39,159
I think Piglet thought of something at the same time. Suddenly. Well,

185
00:14:39,279 --> 00:14:43,720
we must be getting home, said Kangum. Goodbye, Pooh, and

186
00:14:43,840 --> 00:14:49,320
in three large jumps she was gone. Pooh looked after

187
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:54,519
her as she went. I wish I could jump like that,

188
00:14:55,360 --> 00:15:01,240
he thought. Some can and some can't. Ah, that's how

189
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:06,000
it is. But there were moments when Piclet wished that

190
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:10,039
Kanga couldn't. Often, when he had had a long walk

191
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,720
home through the forest, he had wished that he were

192
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:16,279
a bird. But now he thought, jerkily to himself at

193
00:15:16,279 --> 00:15:22,600
the bottom of Kanga's pocket, this takes if is shell

194
00:15:23,799 --> 00:15:30,360
really too flying? I never it. And as he went

195
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:33,519
up in the air he said ooh, And as he

196
00:15:33,559 --> 00:15:38,519
came down he said oh. And he was saying ooh,

197
00:15:39,080 --> 00:15:45,519
ow ooh, ow ooh ow all the way to Kanga's house.

198
00:15:47,639 --> 00:15:50,720
Of course, as soon as Kanga unbuttoned her pocket, she

199
00:15:50,919 --> 00:15:53,879
saw what had happened. Just for a moment she thought

200
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:57,440
she was frightened, and then she knew she wasn't, for

201
00:15:57,639 --> 00:16:00,840
she felt quite sure that Christopher Robin would never let

202
00:16:00,879 --> 00:16:03,960
any harm happened to Rue. So she said to herself,

203
00:16:04,879 --> 00:16:07,360
if they are having a joke with me, I will

204
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:12,080
have a joke with them now then, Rue dear, she said,

205
00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:16,919
as she took pilet out of her pocket. Bedtime, ah

206
00:16:16,919 --> 00:16:20,440
Ha said Picklet as well as he could after his

207
00:16:20,679 --> 00:16:25,559
terrifying journey, but it wasn't a very good aha, and

208
00:16:25,679 --> 00:16:30,039
Kanga didn't seem to understand what it meant. Bath first,

209
00:16:30,279 --> 00:16:36,600
said Kangum in a cheerful voice. Ah Ha said Picklet again,

210
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:41,240
looking round anxiously for the others, But the others weren't there.

211
00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,919
Rabbit was playing with baby rou in his own house

212
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:48,600
and feeling more fond of him every minute, and Pooh,

213
00:16:49,039 --> 00:16:52,159
who had decided to be a Kanga, was still at

214
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:55,960
the sandy place on the top of the forest, practicing jumps.

215
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,639
I am not at all sure, said Kanga in a

216
00:16:59,679 --> 00:17:03,159
thought voice, that it wouldn't be a good idea to

217
00:17:03,240 --> 00:17:07,039
have a cold bath this evening. Will you like that?

218
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:12,000
Rude ear? Piglet, who had never been really fond of baths,

219
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:16,640
shuddered a long, indignant shudder and said, in as brave

220
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:20,920
a voice as he could, Kanga, I see that the

221
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:27,240
time has come to speak plainly, funny little rue, said Kanga,

222
00:17:27,319 --> 00:17:31,480
as she got the bath water ready. I am not rue,

223
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:39,400
said Picklet loudly. I am Piglet. Yes, dear, yes, said

224
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:45,440
Kanga soothingly, and imitating Piglet's voice too. So clever of him,

225
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:48,359
she went on as she took a large boar of

226
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,799
yellow soap out of the cupboard. What will he be

227
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:58,240
doing next? Can't you see? Shouted Picklet. Haven't you got eyes?

228
00:17:58,759 --> 00:18:03,960
Look at me? I am looking rude, dear, said Kanga

229
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,519
rather severely. And you know what I told you yesterday

230
00:18:07,559 --> 00:18:11,720
about making faces. If you go on making faces like picklets,

231
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,279
you will grow up to look like pilet and then

232
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:19,039
think how sorry you will be. Now then into the

233
00:18:19,039 --> 00:18:21,640
bath and don't let me have to speak to you

234
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:26,599
about it again. Before he knew where he was, Piglet

235
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,799
was in the bath and Kanga was scrubbing him firmly

236
00:18:30,839 --> 00:18:39,000
with a large leathery flannel. Oh, cried Piglet. Let me out.

237
00:18:39,759 --> 00:18:43,839
I'm Piglet. Don't open your mouth, dear, or the soap

238
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:51,119
goes in, said Kanga. There, what did I tell you? You? You?

239
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:54,480
You did it on purpose, spluttered Piglet as soon as

240
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:59,440
he could speak again, and then accidentally had another mouthful

241
00:18:59,519 --> 00:19:04,920
of love reflannel. That's right, dear, don't say anything, said Kenka,

242
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,279
and in another minute Piglet was out of the bath

243
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:13,519
and being rubbed dry with a towel. Now, said Kenka,

244
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:19,480
there's your medicine, and then bed woo. Whoa? What medicine?

245
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,359
Said Picklet? To make you grow big and strong, dear.

246
00:19:23,960 --> 00:19:26,599
You don't want to grow up small and weak like pilet,

247
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,640
do you. Well? Then at that moment there was a

248
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,680
knock at the door. Come in, said Kenka, and in

249
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:43,519
came Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin cried, Piglet, Tell

250
00:19:43,599 --> 00:19:47,559
Kanga who I am? She keeps saying, I'm rude. I'm

251
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,039
not rue, am I? Christopher Robin looked at him very

252
00:19:52,079 --> 00:19:56,200
carefully and shook his head. You can't be rue, he said,

253
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:01,759
because I've just seen rue playing in Rabbit's house. Well,

254
00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:07,480
said Kanga. Fancy that. Fancy my making a mistake like that.

255
00:20:08,599 --> 00:20:12,880
There you are, said Picklet. I told you so, I'm Piglet.

256
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:18,960
Christopher Robin shook his head again. Oh you're not Piglet,

257
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,839
he said, I know Piglet well, and he's quite a

258
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:27,200
different color. Piglet began to say that this was because

259
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,240
he had just had a bath, and then he thought

260
00:20:30,279 --> 00:20:33,319
that perhaps he wouldn't say that, And as he opened

261
00:20:33,319 --> 00:20:36,839
his mouth to say something else, Kanga slipped the medicine

262
00:20:36,839 --> 00:20:39,640
spoon in and then patted him on the back and

263
00:20:39,759 --> 00:20:42,400
told him that it was really quite a nice taste

264
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:46,119
when you got used to it. I knew it wasn't Piglet,

265
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:50,839
said kangam. I wonder who it can be. Perhaps it's

266
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:54,960
some relations of poos, said Christopher Robin. What about a

267
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:59,079
nephew or an uncle or something. Kanga agreed that this

268
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,240
was probably what it was, and said that they would

269
00:21:02,240 --> 00:21:06,519
have to call it by some name. I shall call

270
00:21:06,599 --> 00:21:12,759
it poodle, said Christopher Robin, Henry Poodle for short, And

271
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,240
just when it was decided, Henry Poodle wriggled out of

272
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,240
Kanga's arms and jumped to the ground. To his great joy,

273
00:21:21,319 --> 00:21:25,640
Christopher Robin had left the door open. Never had Henry

274
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,400
Poodle Picklet run so fast as he ran then, And

275
00:21:29,519 --> 00:21:32,039
he didn't stop running until he had got quite close

276
00:21:32,079 --> 00:21:35,440
to his house, And when he was one hundred yards away,

277
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,599
he stopped running and rolled the rest of the way

278
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:42,799
home so as to get his own nice, comfortable color again.

279
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,599
So Kanga and Rue stayed in the forest, and every Tuesday,

280
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:51,960
Rue spent the day with his great friend Rabbit, and

281
00:21:52,039 --> 00:21:55,559
every Tuesday Kanga spent the day with her great friend Pooh,

282
00:21:55,759 --> 00:21:59,279
teaching him to jump. And every Tuesday Pikelet spent the

283
00:21:59,319 --> 00:22:03,400
day with his great friend Christopher Robin. So they were

284
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:09,000
all happy again. End of chapter seven
