long time... and all the  time  he  was  watching,  Tigger  was
tearing round the Forest
    making  loud  yapping noises for Rabbit. And at last a very
Small and Sorry Rabbit heard  him.  And  the  Small  and  Sorry
Rabbit  rushed  through  the mist at the noise, and it suddenly
turned into Tigger; a friendly Tigger, a Grand Tigger, a  Large
and Helpful Tigger, a Tigger who bounced, if he bounced at all,
in just the beautiful way a Tigger ought to bounce.
        "Oh, Tigger, I am glad to see you," cried Rabbit.



Chapter VIII.  In which Piglet does
 a very grand
thing


    HALF-WAY between Pooh's house  and  Piglet's  house  was  a
Thoughtful  Spot where they met sometimes when they had decided
to go and see each
    other, and as it was warm and out of the  wind  they  would
sit  down  there for a little and wonder what they would do now
that they had seen each other. One day when  they  had  decided
not  to  do  anything,  Pooh  made up a verse about it, so that
everybody should know what the place was for.

                      This warm and sunny Spot
                  Belongs to Pooh.
                And here he wonders what
                  He's going to do.
                Oh, bother, I forgot--
                  It's Piglet's too.

        Now one autumn morning when the wind had blown all  the
leaves  off  the trees in the night, and was trying to blow the
branches off, Pooh and Piglet were sitting  in  the  Thoughtful
Spot and wondering.
        "What I think," said Pooh, "is I think we'll go to Pooh
Corner and see Eeyore, because perhaps his house has been blown
down, and perhaps he'd like us to build it again."
        "What  I  think," said Piglet, "is I think we'll go and
see Christopher Robin, only he won't be there, so we can't."
