jumping on his six sticks. "What is Learning?" asked Eeyore  as
he  kicked  his  twelve  sticks  into  the air. "A thing Rabbit
knows! Ha!"
        "I think--" began Piglet nervously.
        "Don't," said Eeyore.
        "I think Violets are rather nice," said Piglet. And  he
laid his bunch in front of Eeyore and scampered off.

        Next  morning  the  notice  on  Christopher Robins door
said:

                              GONE OUT
                        BACK SOON
                                        C. R.

had  grown  up,  so  that  it  was  almost  a river, and, being
grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it  used
to  do  when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew
now where it was going, and it said to  itself,  "There  is  no
hurry. We shall get there some day." But all the little streams
higher  up  in  the  Forest  went  this  way and that, quickly,
eagerly, having so much to find out before it was too late.
        There was a broad track, almost as  broad  as  a  road,
leading  from  the  Outland  to the Forest, but before it could
come to the Forest, it had to cross this river.  So,  where  it
crossed,  there was a wooden bridge, almost as broad as a road,
with wooden rails on each side of it. Christopher  Robin  could
just  get  his chin on to the top rail, if he wanted to, but it
was more fun to stand on the bottom rail, so that he could lean
right over, and watch the river slipping  slowly  away  beneath
