Welcome to Piglet's House!
You walk up the path to Piglet's House and note that it is unusually
quiet. There's no
movement around except for the gentle breeze rustling the leaves
above. The front step is
bare, not a potted plant, broom nor welcome mat to be seen. A faded
yellow card pinned
on the door us the only thing betraying the house's occupancy.
You take it off and find a
key wrapped up inside along with a note. It's for the moving company.
They haven't
arrived yet. Just pile the boxes inside, Piglet directs them. He'll
unpack later. When they're
done, call him at Pooh's. He'll take it from there. Repinning the
note to the door you turn
around and head back down the path. You'll have to stop by another
time.
The Te of Piglet....TE meaning: Virtue of the Small...(Being piglet)
"Mind you don't get blown away, little Piglet. You'd be missed.
People would say 'Where's
little Piglet been blown to?'--really wanting to know. Well, goodbye.
And thank you for
happening to pass me." --Eeyore from The House at Pooh Corner.
The Te Of Piglet was
written by Benjamin Hoff...and it realtes to the Tao of Pooh...which
was also written by
Benjamin Hoff....Both are spiritual books...from Pooh's and Piglet's
P.O.V.. 'Unlike Pooh,
who simply Is and Does, Piglet Agonizes. For example, when Piglet
and Pooh fell into the
Gravel Pit...
"Pooh", he went on nervously, and came a little closre, "do you
think we're in a
Trap?" Pooh hadn't thought about it at all, but now
he nodded. For suddenly he
remembered how he and Piglet had once made a Pooh Trap for
Heffalumps, and he
guessed what had happened. He and Piglet and fallen
into a Heffalump Trap for
Poohs! That was what it was. "What happens when the
Heffalump comes?" asked
Piglet trembingly, when he had heard the news. "Perhapds
he won't notice YOU,
Piglet," said Pooh encouragingly, "because you're a Very
Small Animal." "But he'll
notice YOU, Pooh." "He'll notice ME, and I shall notice HIM,"
said Pooh, thinking it
out. "We'll notcied each toher for a long time, and
then he'll say: 'Ho-ho!'" Piglet
shivered a little at the thought of that "Ho-Ho!"
and his ears began to twitch.
"W-what will YOU say?" he asked.
Pooh tried to think of something he would say, but the more
he thought, the more he
felt that there IS no real answer to "Ho-ho!" said by a Heffalupm
in the sort of voice
this Heffalump was going to say it in.
"I shan't say anything," said Pooh at last. "I shall
just hum to myself, as if I was
waiting for something."
"THen perhaps he'll say, "Ho-ho!"
again?" suggest Piglet anxiously.
"He will," said Pooh.
Piglet'sears twitched so quickly that he had to lean them
against the side of the Trap to
keep them quiet.
"He will say it again," said Pooh, "and i shall go on humming.
And that will Upset him.
Becuase when yuo say "ho-ho!" twice, in a gloating sort of
way, and the other person
only hums, you suddenly find, just as you begin to say it
the third time--that--that--well,
you find--"
"But he'll say something else," said Piglet.
"That's just it. He'll say: 'What's all this?' And then I
shall say -- and this is a very good
idea, Piglety, which I've just thought of--I shall say:'it's
a trap for a Heffalump to fall
in.' And I shall go on humming. That will Unsettle him."
"Pooh!" cried Piglet..."You've saved us!"
