"And now we are BrooksBooks, tiddly-pom ..."

 

"So Pooh Bear, what does that mean?"

 

"Well, Piglet,' the bear of little brains replied, with an added tiddly-pom for good measure. 'It means, it's a bit like what happened in 'Now We are Six'."

 

"But Pooh Bear, there are only two of us."

 

"I think we are six if you count Tigger, Owl, Kanga and Ru. I think, by my calculations, if only my paws weren't so sticky with honey," sighed the bear.

 

"But what has six got to do with being BrooksBooks?" queried Piglet who was becoming mighty confused and thought he might meet a Heffalump if not careful.

 

"Silly old bear," laughed Christopher Robin. "It means that they're no longer writing stories in five lines, now they're making real books."

 

"Are there any about me?' moaned Eyeore. 'No one writes about donkeys anymore."

 

"Ah, but they will," panted Tigger as he bounced across the grass. "Because, Ru and I are going to teach you the fantastic uber bounce for donkeys."

 

"Not sure I am going to like that," grumbled Eyeore, who thought that perhaps he should have stayed in bed after all.

 

"Fine, fine, with all this talk," commanded Rabbit. "I think we need to make a large banner announcing the name change. Owl can take one end and fly up into his tree, and Tigger can bounce up into the other. Then everything will be just fine."

​

And that is what they did. And Pooh Bear thought he and Piglet had done exceedingly well out of the day as he shared his sixth pot of honey.
