Winnie the Pooh

 

 and it was at that moment that Piglet looked down. 
"Help, help!" cried Piglet, "a Heffalump, a Horrible Heffalump!" and he scampered off as hard as he could, still crying out, "Help, help, a Herrible
Hoffalump! Hoff, Hoff, a Hellible Horralump! Holl, Holl, a Hoffable Hellerump!"
And he didn't stop crying and scampering until he got to Christopher Robin's

 house. 
"Whatever's the matter, Piglet?" said Christopher Robin, who was just getting

 up. 
"Heff," said Piglet, breathing so hard that he could hardly speak, "a Heff-a

 Heff-a Heffalump." 

 "Where?" 
"Up there," said Piglet, waving his paw.

 "What did it look like?" 
"Like-like- It had the biggest head you ever saw, Christopher Robin. A great enormous thing, like-like nothing. A huge big-well, like a-I don't know-like an enormous big nothing. Like a jar."
"Well," said Christopher Robin, putting on his shoes, "I shall go and look at it. Come on."
Piglet wasn't afraid if he had Christopher Robin with him, so off they went...
"I can hear it, can't you?" said Piglet anxiously, as they got near.
"I can hear something," said Christopher Robin.
It was Pooh bumping his head against a tree-root he had found.
"There!" said Piglet. "Isn't it awful?" And he held on tight to Christopher
 

 Robin's hand. 
Suddenly Christopher Robin began to laugh... and he laughed.. and he laughed... and he laughed. And while he was still laughing- Crash went the
Heffalump's head against the tree-root, Smash went the jar, and out came Pooh's

 head again... 
Then Piglet saw what a Foolish Piglet he had been, and he was so ashamed of himself that he ran straight off home and went to bed with a headache. But

 Christopher Robin and Pooh went home to breakfast together. 

 "Oh, Bear!" said Christopher Robin. "How I do love you!" 
"So do I," said Pooh.

 Winnie-The-Pooh - Chapter 6 

 ...IN WHICH EEYORE HAS A BIRTHDAY AND GETS TWO PRESENTS 
EEYORE, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at

 himself in the water. 
"Pathetic," he said. s' That's what it is. Pathetic."
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the
 

 water again. 
"As I thought," he said. "No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that's what it is."
There was a crackling noise in the bracken behind him, and out came Pooh.
"Good morning, Eeyore," said Pooh.
"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If it is a good morning," he said. "Which I doubt," said he.

 "Why, what's the matter?" 
"Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of us don't. That's all

 there is to it." 
"Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.
"Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush."
"Oh!" said Pooh. He thought for a long time, and then asked, "What mulberry bush

 is that?" 
"Bon-hommy," went on Eeyore gloomily. "French word meaning bonhommy," he explained. "I'm not complaining, but There It Is."
Pooh sat down on a large stone, and tried to think this out. It sounded to him like a riddle, and he was never much good at riddles, being a Bear of Very
Little Brain. So he sang Cottleston Pie instead:
Cottleslon, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie.
A fly can't bird, but a bird can fly.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
That was the first verse. When he had finished it, Eeyore didn't actually say that he didn't like it, so Pooh very kindly sang the second verse to him:
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
 

 A fish can't whistle and neither can I. 
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
Eeyore still said nothing at all, so Pooh hummed the third verse quietly to himself:
Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,
Why does a chicken, I don't know why.
Ask me a riddle and I reply:
"Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie."
"That's right," said Eeyore. "Sing. Umty-tiddly, umty-too. Here we go gathering
Nuts and May. Enjoy yourself."
"I am," said Pooh.
"Some can," said Eeyore.

 "Why, what's the matter?" 

 "Is anything the matter?" 
"You seem so sad, Eeyore."
"Sad? Why should I be sad? It's my birthday. The happiest day of the year."

 "Your birthday?" said Pooh in great surprise.
