Pooh for a Day When carrying a jar of honey to give to a friend for his birthday, don't stop and 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 with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like "What about lunch?" "They're funny things, accidents. You never have them till you're having them." -Eeyore Always watch where you are going. Otherwise, you may step on a piece of the Forest that was left out by mistake. When looking at your two paws, as soon as you have decided which one of them is the right one, then you can be sure the other one is left. To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks. 'You can't help respecting anybody who can spell Tuesday, even if he doesn't spell it right.' -Rabbit When late morning rolls about and you're feeling a bit out of sorts, don't worry; you're probably just a little eleven o'clockish. "It's always useful to know where a friend-and-relation *is*, whether you want him or whether you don't." -Rabbit When you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it. Be especially careful in dangerous places where an Ambush might occur. An Ambush is a sort of Surprise. Then again, so is a gorse-bush sometimes. "We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all there is to it." -Eeyore When waking up in the morning, remember that whether your first thought is, "What's for breakfast?" or "I wonder what's going to happen exciting *today*" it's the same thing. Nobody can be un-cheered with a balloon. When you come across Eeyore in the Forest and he seems even gloomier than usual, check to see if he has his tail. It may be missing. When trying to ignore a knock at your door, don't yell out, "No!" when someone asks, "Is anybody at home?" It isn't much good having anything exciting like floods, if you can't share them with somebody. When you fall on somebody, it's not enough to say you didn't mean to; after all, he probably didn't mean to be underneath you. If you are looking for Home and find instead a sand-pit, try looking for a sand-pit. Then you'd be sure not to find it, which would be a Good Thing, because you might find something that you'weren't looking for, which might just be what you were looking for. Even though eating honey is a very good thing to do, there is a moment just before you begin to eat it which is better. Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known. Poetry and Hums aren't things which you get, they're things which get *you*. And all you can do is to go to where they can find you. Spelling isn't everything. there are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count. It's so much more friendly with two. --------
