[after the seam on his bottom splits]

Oh, stuff and fluff.

Honey! Oh, boy, honey! That's what tiggers like best.

I was afraid of that.

[gulps down a few handfuls]

Oh, say.

[chuckles, then smacks]

YUCK! Tiggers don't like honey!

But you said that you liked....

Yeah, that icky, sticky stuff is only fit for heffalumps and woozles.

You mean elephants and weasels.

That's what I said, heffalumps and woozles.

Eeyore

It's not much of a tail, but I'm sort of attached to it.

The only reason for being a bee is to make honey. And the only reason for making honey is so I can eat it.

Winnie the Pooh crawled out of the gorse bush, brushed the prickles from his nose and began to think again.

Think, think, think.

And the first person he thought of was...

Winnie the Pooh?

No. Christopher Robin.

Oh.

There now. Did I get your tail back on properly, Eeyore?

Eeyore

No matter. Most likely lose it again anyway.

Good morning, Christopher Robin.

Oh, good morning, Winnie the Pooh.

Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, and Roo

Good morning, Pooh bear.

Eeyore

If it is a good morning, which I doubt.

[after rolling in the mud]

There, now. [giggles, then hops out of the mud puddle]

Isn't it a clever disguise?

What are you supposed to be?

[looks himself over]

I'm a little, black rain cloud, of course.

[giggles]

Silly old bear.

[in a sticky voice]

I must be going now. Goodbye, Rabbit.

Rabbit

Well, goodbye, if you're sure you won't have any more.

[turns to leave then stops]

Is there any more?

Rabbit

No, there isn't.

I thought not. [tries to climb out the front door but gets stuck]

Oh, oh, help and bother! I'm stuck.

Rabbit

Oh, dear. Oh, gracious. Oh. [tries to push Pooh out] Well, it all comes from eating too much.

[strains]

It all comes from not having front doors big enough!

Owl

Blast it all!

Good idea! We'll dynamite! Save time.

Owl

Eh, what's the charge?

The charge? Oh, about seven sticks of dynamite.

Owl

Oh, no, no, no, no! The cost! The charge in money.

Nope, no charge account. I work strictly cash.

Owl

Obviously, but, I should think...

Well, I can't stand around lollygagging all day. I got a tight schedule. [falls down a hole, screaming] If you think it over, let me know. You got my card. I'm not in the book, you know.

Owl

Oh. Dash it all, he's gone.

After all, he's not in the book, you know.

Owl

Oh.

Pooh, Roo has a little surprise for you.

Roo

Flowers.

Honeysuckle! [tries to eat flowers]

No, Pooh, you don't eat them. You smell them.

Oh.

Rabbit

Why did I ever invite that bear to lunch? Why, oh, why, oh, why?

Could you spare a small smackerel?

Say, you ought to do something about that speech impediment, sonny. [offers Pooh his jar of honey]

Oh, thank you, Gopher.

Could you spare a small smackerel?

Say, you ought to do something about that speech impediment, sonny. [offers Winnie the Pooh his jar of honey]

Oh, thank you, Gopher.

Rabbit

Oh, no! Not that! No, no, no, no, no! Not one drop!

But, Rabbit, I wasn't going to eat it. I was just going to taste it.

Rabbit

I'll taste it for you.

That supercilious scoundrel confiscated my honey.

Rabbit

Don't feed the bear!

I'm going to skedaddle. I'm not in the book. And I'm ding danged glad of it!

Rabbit

Oh, there he goes!

Sufferin' sassafrass! He is sailing clean out of the book! Quick, turn the page!

Eeyore
[Winnie the Pooh lands in a hollow in a tree]

Stuck again.

Don't worry, Pooh! We'll get you out!

No hurry. Take your time. Yum, yum! [singing] Bears love honey and I'm a Pooh bear! Yum, yum, yum, yum! Time for something sweet!

So we come to the next chapter, in which...

But, I haven't finished yet!

But, Pooh, you're in the next chapter.

Oh. What happens to me?

Well, let's turn the page and find out. Now one fine day, the east wind traded places with the west wind, and that's turned things up a bit all through the Hundred Acre Wood.

Meanwhile, Rabbit was still wandering around in the mist. By now he was lost and bewildered. And to make matters worse, his mind was beginning to play tricks on him.

Rabbit

What’s that? Pooh? Piglet? [frog croaks at Rabbit screams, then caterpillar chewing on leaf and gulping at Rabbit gasps, more plus frogs croaking hearing the noises sound] Help!

Hello, Rabbit!

Rabbit

Tigger! B-B-But… you’re supposed to be lost.

Oh! Tiggers never get lost, Bunny Boy.

Rabbit

Never… get… lost.

Of course not.

Rabbit

Oh, no.

Come on, Rabbit, let’s go home! Hang on! Hoo-hoo-hoo!

[Rabbit screams]

So they started back, and Rabbit was now a humiliated Rabbit. A lost and found Rabbit. And “oh, why, oh, why, do these things happen to me” Rabbit.
