тАЬChristopher Robin didnтАЩt say anything about fierce. He just said it had an x .тАЭ
тАЬIt isnтАЩt their necks I mind,тАЭ said Piglet earnestly. тАЬItтАЩs their teeth. But if Christopher Robin is coming I donтАЩt mind anything.тАЭ
In a little while they were all ready at the top of the Forest, and the Expotition started. First came Christopher Robin and Rabbit, then Piglet and Pooh; then Kanga, with Roo in her pocket, and Owl; then Eeyore; and, at the end, in a long line, all RabbitтАЩs friends-and-relations.
тАЬI didnтАЩt ask them,тАЭ explained Rabbit carelessly. тАЬThey just came. They always do. They can march at the end, after Eeyore.тАЭ
тАЬWhat I say,тАЭ said Eeyore, тАЬis that itтАЩs unsettling. I didnтАЩt want to come on this ExpoтБатАФwhat Pooh said. I only came to oblige. But here I am; and if I am the end of the ExpoтБатАФwhat weтАЩre talking aboutтБатАФthen let me be the end. But if, every time I want to sit down for a little rest, I have to brush away half a dozen of RabbitтАЩs smaller friends-and-relations first, then this isnтАЩt an ExpoтБатАФwhatever it isтБатАФat all, itтАЩs simply a Confused Noise. ThatтАЩs what I say.тАЭ
тАЬI see what Eeyore means,тАЭ said Owl. тАЬIf you ask meтБатАФтАЭ
тАЬIтАЩm not asking anybody,тАЭ said Eeyore. тАЬIтАЩm just telling everybody. We can look for the North Pole, or we can play тАШHere we go gathering Nuts and MayтАЩ with the end part of an antтАЩs nest. ItтАЩs all the same to me.тАЭ
There was a shout from the top of the line.
тАЬCome on!тАЭ called Christopher Robin.
тАЬCome on!тАЭ called Pooh and Piglet.
тАЬCome on!тАЭ called Owl.
тАЬWeтАЩre starting,тАЭ said Rabbit. тАЬI must go.тАЭ And he hurried off to the front of the Expotition with Christopher Robin.
тАЬAll right,тАЭ said Eeyore. тАЬWeтАЩre going. Only DonтАЩt Blame Me.тАЭ
So off they all went to discover the Pole. And as they walked, they chattered to each other of this and that, all except Pooh, who was making up a song.
