тАЬNow listen all of you,тАЭ said Rabbit when he had finished writing, and Pooh and Piglet sat listening very eagerly with their mouths open. This was what Rabbit read out:
Plan to Capture Baby Roo General Remarks. Kanga runs faster than any of Us, even Me. More General Remarks. Kanga never takes her eye off Baby Roo, except when heтАЩs safely buttoned up in her pocket. Therefore. If we are to capture Baby Roo, we must get a Long Start, because Kanga runs faster than any of Us, even Me. ( See 1.) A Thought. If Roo had jumped out of KangaтАЩs pocket and Piglet had jumped in, Kanga wouldnтАЩt know the difference, because Piglet is a Very Small Animal. Like Roo. But Kanga would have to be looking the other way first, so as not to see Piglet jumping in. See 2. Another Thought. But if Pooh was talking to her very excitedly, she might look the other way for a moment. And then I could run away with Roo. Quickly. And Kanga wouldnтАЩt discover the difference until Afterwards.
Well, Rabbit read this out proudly, and for a little while after he had read it nobody said anything. And then Piglet, who had been opening and shutting his mouth without making any noise, managed to say very huskily:
тАЬAndтБатАФAfterwards?тАЭ
тАЬHow do you mean?тАЭ
тАЬWhen Kanga does Discover the Difference?тАЭ
тАЬThen we all say тАШ Aha! тАЩтАКтАЭ
тАЬAll three of us?тАЭ
тАЬYes.тАЭ
тАЬOh!тАЭ
тАЬWhy, whatтАЩs the trouble, Piglet?тАЭ
тАЬNothing,тАЭ said Piglet, тАЬas long as we all three say it. As long as we all three say it,тАЭ said Piglet, тАЬI donтАЩt mind,тАЭ he said, тАЬbut I shouldnтАЩt care to say тАШ Aha! тАЩ by myself. It wouldnтАЩt sound nearly so well. By the way,тАЭ he said, тАЬyou are quite sure about what you said about the winter months?тАЭ
