“Well,” said Pooh, “I’ve got to go home for something, and so has Piglet, because we haven’t had it yet, and⁠—”

“I’ll come and watch you,” said Christopher Robin.

So he went home with Pooh, and watched him for quite a long time⁠ ⁠… and all the time he was watching, Tigger was tearing round the Forest making loud yapping noises for Rabbit. And at last a very Small and Sorry Rabbit heard him. And the Small and Sorry Rabbit rushed through the mist at the noise, and it suddenly turned into Tigger; a Friendly Tigger, a Grand Tigger, a Large and Helpful Tigger, a Tigger who bounced, if he bounced at all, in just the beautiful way a Tigger ought to bounce.

“Oh, Tigger, I am glad to see you,” cried Rabbit.
