| From Pooh's Little Instruction Book |
| When Speaking to a Bear of Very Little Brain, remember that long words may Bother him. When carrying a jar of honey to give to friend for his birthday, don't stop to eat it along the way. Don't forget that a tail is a tail; it isn't just a Little Bit Extra at the back. |
It is more fun to talk to someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about Lunch?" When you see someone putting on his Big Boots, you can be pretty sure that an Adventure is going to happen. |
Despite their claims to the contrary, Tiggers don't really like everything. Drinking your milk and talking at the same time may result in your having to be patted on the back and dried for a long time afterwards. "They're funny things, Accidents. You never have them till you're having them." (Eeyore) Keep in mind that at least to Eeyore, the letter A represents Learning, Education, and all things Pooh and Piglet haven't got. A little Consideration, a little Thought for others, makes all the difference. Always watch where you are going. Otherwise you might step on a piece of Forest that was left out by mistake. Not everyone appreciates being hooshed to the bank of a river by having a large stone dropped on them. Never go indoors to practice a special Outdoor song which Has To Be Sung in the Snow. Try not to sit down on thistles; it takes all the Life out of them. Besides, someone might have planned on eating them for lunch. |
If possible, try to find a way to come downstairs that doesn't involve going bump, bump, bump, on the back of the head. When looking at your paws, as soon as you have decided which of them is the right one, then you can be sure the other is the left. The trick to succeeding at Poohsticks is letting your stick drop in a twitchy sort of way. |
To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks. If you secretly get into a kangaroo's pocket and she begins to jump away, be prepared for a bumpy ride. |
| "You can't help respecting anybody who can spell Tuesday, even if he doesn't spell it right." (Rabbit) The best place to dig a Very Deep Pit in which to catch a Heffalump is somewhere where the Heffalump is, only about a foot further on. Rivers know this: There is no hurry. We shall get there some day. When having a smackeral of something with a friend, don't eat so much that you get stuck in the doorway trying to get out. |
