Rabbit said, "Honey or condensed milk with your bread?" Pooh was so
excited that he said, "Both," and then, so as not to seem greedy, he
added, "But don't bother about the bread, please."
"Hallo, Rabbit," Pooh said, "is that you?"
"Let's pretend it isn't," said Rabbit, "and see what happens."
"Is anybody at home?"
There was a sudden scuffling noise from inside the hole, and then silence.
"What I said was, `Is anybody at home?'" called out Pooh very loudly. "No!" said a voice; and then added, "You needn't shout so loud. I
heard you quite well the first time."
"Bother!" said Pooh. "Isn't there anybody here at all?" "Nobody."
"Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident. It all depends." "Depends on what?" "On whether I'm on the top of it or underneath it.">
"An Ambush," said Owl, "is a sort of Surprise."
"So is a gorse-bush sometimes," said Pooh.
"I've got a sort of idea," said Pooh at last, "but I don't suppose it's a very good one." "I don't suppose it is either," said Eeyore.
Pooh looked at his two paws. He knew that one of them was the
right, and he knew that when you had decided which one of them was the right, then the other one was the left, but he never could remember how to begin.

"I don't hold with all this washing," grumbled Eeyore. "This modern Behind-the-ears nonsense."
"Oh, Eeyore, you are wet!" said Piglet, feeling him. Eeyore shook himself, and asked somebody to explain to Piglet what happens when you have been inside a river for quite a long time.
"I can see a bird in it from here," said Pooh pointing to a tree. "Or is it a fish?"
