тАЬ Ow! тАЭ said Pooh.
тАЬDid I miss?тАЭ you asked.
тАЬYou didnтАЩt exactly miss ,тАЭ said Pooh, тАЬbut you missed the balloon .тАЭ
тАЬIтАЩm so sorry,тАЭ you said, and you fired again, and this time you hit the balloon, and the air came slowly out, and Winnie-the-Pooh floated down to the ground.
But his arms were so stiff from holding on to the string of the balloon all that time that they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I thinkтБатАФbut I am not sureтБатАФthat that is why he was always called Pooh.
тАЬIs that the end of the story?тАЭ asked Christopher Robin.
тАЬThatтАЩs the end of that one. There are others.тАЭ
тАЬAbout Pooh and Me?тАЭ
тАЬAnd Piglet and Rabbit and all of you. DonтАЩt you remember?тАЭ
тАЬI do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget.тАЭ
тАЬThat day when Pooh and Piglet tried to catch the HeffalumpтБатАФтАЭ
тАЬThey didnтАЩt catch it, did they?тАЭ
тАЬNo.тАЭ
тАЬPooh couldnтАЩt, because he hasnтАЩt any brain. Did I catch it?тАЭ
тАЬWell, that comes into the story.тАЭ
Christopher Robin nodded.
