PIGLET AND POOH
Piglet and Pooh sat under a fig tree for half an hour.
In silence they sat.
In silence they heard.
"Thank you", Piglet said, "For understanding my silence".
Pooh smiled.
That was very refreshing for them.
And then they were on their way.

Piglet and Pooh: Text
Piglet and Pooh sat under a fig tree for half an hour.
"Why are there tears in your eyes", Pooh asked.
"The sun is setting", Piglet said, "and that makes me sad".
"But those on the other side of the world, will say its a rising one", saying this Pooh turned upside down with his head on the grass and feet pointing to the sky, the body resting against the tree.
Piglet followed him.
Piglet could see Pooh's 'view point'.
And they both enjoyed the new view.
And that was very refreshing for them.
And then they were on their way.

Piglet and Pooh: Text
Piglet and Pooh sat under a fig tree for half an hour.
And they gazed at the silhouette of the rooftops and the church stipple faraway.
Marvelled at the squirrel as it scrambled up a tree with a nut in its mouth, rustling the dried orange- brown dry leaves on the ground.
"That's a lot of rotting leaves!", exclaimed piglet.
"Yet in their demise, they enrich the tree they have fallen off, to energise the buds and leaflets that will spring up next spring", said Pooh
And that was very refreshing for them.
And then they were on their way.

Piglet and Pooh: Text
Piglet and Pooh sat under a fig tree for half an hour.
Piglet was very cross and upset with Pooh and turned away from him.
Pooh gave him a pair of Magic glasses.
Piglet put them on, and lo behold;
He saw them climbing up the hillock together, hand in hand, albeit a little slow, as their legs were tired and their aged body frail and wobbly.
They wore glasses over their eyes.
Yet, helping each other they reached the top just before dawn and saw the lovely rise of the sun.
Pooh then exchanged piglets glasses with another pair.
Piglet put them on, and lo behold;
He saw them sat at bottom of the hillock on stones, facing away from each other, as their legs were tired and their aged body frail and wobbly.
They wore glasses over their eyes.
And, facing away from each other, they couldn't reach the top just before dawn to see the lovely rise of the sun.
And so, Piglet and Pooh hugged each other.
And that was very refreshing for them.
And then they were on their way.

Piglet and Pooh: Text
Piglet and Pooh sat under a fig tree for half an hour.
Proudly, Piglet shared with Pooh,
How he had defeated his adversary of long time
Who bore a grudge against piglet for a long time.
Listening to his friend and patting his back,
Pooh asked," What is the most difficult thing to do after succeeding?".
Piglet looked blankly, clueless.
"To shut up about it'" said Pooh.
Piglet looked up to Pooh.
"Is that forgiveness and humility?, Piglet wanted to know.
" Forgiveness and humility do not anounce their arrival with a pomp of band and fanfare.
If one is truely humble,
Then one does not know,
That one is truely humble.
If one did, then one would boast within thinking about it." Pooh replied.
Piglet again looked up to Pooh.
And that was very refreshing for them.
And then they were on their way.
