тАЬHelp, help!тАЭ cried Piglet, тАЬa Heffalump, a Horrible Heffalump!тАЭ and he scampered off as hard as he could, still crying out, тАЬHelp, help, a Herrible Hoffalump! Hoff, Hoff, a Hellible Horralump! Holl, Holl, a Hoffable Hellerump!тАЭ And he didnтАЩt stop crying and scampering until he got to Christopher RobinтАЩs house.

тАЬWhateverтАЩs the matter, Piglet?тАЭ said Christopher Robin, who was just getting up.

тАЬHeff,тАЭ said Piglet, breathing so hard that he could hardly speak, тАЬa HeffтБатАФa HeffтБатАФa Heffalump.тАЭ

тАЬWhere?тАЭ

тАЬUp there,тАЭ said Piglet, waving his paw.

тАЬWhat did it look like?тАЭ

тАЬLikeтБатАФlikeтБатАФIt had the biggest head you ever saw, Christopher Robin. A great enormous thing, likeтБатАФlike nothing. A huge bigтБатАФwell, like aтБатАФI donтАЩt knowтБатАФlike an enormous big nothing. Like a jar.тАЭ

тАЬWell,тАЭ said Christopher Robin, putting on his shoes, тАЬI shall go and look at it. Come on.тАЭ

Piglet wasnтАЩt afraid if he had Christopher Robin with him, so off they went.тБатАКтБатАж

тАЬI can hear it, canтАЩt you?тАЭ said Piglet anxiously, as they got near.

тАЬI can hear something ,тАЭ said Christopher Robin.

It was Pooh bumping his head against a tree-root he had found.

тАЬThere!тАЭ said Piglet. тАЬIsnтАЩt it awful ?тАЭ And he held on tight to Christopher RobinтАЩs hand.

Suddenly Christopher Robin began to laughтБатАКтБатАж and he laughedтБатАКтБатАж and he laughedтБатАКтБатАж and he laughed. And while he was still laughingтБатАФ Crash went the HeffalumpтАЩs head against the tree-root, Smash went the jar, and out came PoohтАЩs head again.тБатАКтБатАж

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.
