Pooh Bear & friends made their way back into the forest clearing, after having a bit of a
nap. As they reached the edge of the clearing the table butterflies all leapt into the air & then
went into a free-fall, looking like the most beautiful confetti the forest had ever seen 🙂
Then the fire-flies bombarded the center of the confetti, lighting up & pushing outward in
every direction; this gave the effect of the most spectacular fireworks ever witnessed in the
forest! Each of the Butter & Fire flies took a crumb with them as they left, a promised
little treat for their help & a helping hand cleaning up. With just as many smiles & giggles
as there was setting up, the party area was soon back to a natural forest clearing & the
friends started chatting about the cave.
"What's in it?" asked Eeyore { @Oaktree } "We don't know" answered Pooh Bear { @Lilaca }
"that's what makes it an adventure!". "How many bounces away is it" asked Tigger { @Sophia1 }
"Twice as many for you as there will be for me" answered Kanga { @NatureLover } with a
giggle. "I'm riding with you . . . & Piglet { @Emelia8 }, Gumnut { @Appleblossom } & Little
Bee too!" cried Roo { @Ripples } "I'll pack some cake & make sure we have plenty of water"
declared Christopher Robin { @Shaz51 }. Owl { @Anastasia } wisely told the group "I'll fly in front &
make sure everything's safe & your not going the wrong way". Suddenly the group heard
a rapid tapping on the ground, they looked around & saw White Rabbits { @Snowie } back
foot moving up & down in a blur, the beautiful bunny simply asked "What are we waiting
for?" . . .
How superb.
Leaping butterflies, freefalling creating an image of confetti.

Dear Friends

So White Rabbit asked the question "What are we waiting for?" He clearly was impatiently watching thinking that time was moving on.
Once they got to the cave there might not be much light as they have not been inside before.
They took off moving at different paces.
Christopher Robin was carrying a large chocolate mud cake ever so carefully. He had passed out botttles of water to everyone before they started walking.
Eeyore was excited and chatted away the whole time.
Kanga leaping ahead balancing Roo, Piglet, Gumnut baby and Little Bee.
Owl was busy flying ahead as promised, keeping her eyes on the path ahead.
Tigger, as usual, was bouncing, zigzagging from side to side.
Suddenly there was a mighty thump. Tigger had bounced straight into Christopher Robin.
They all stood still, watching the cake flying through the air.
Alas the cake hit a trunk of a tree and fell to the ground below.
A squirrel appeared from nowhere, helping itself to bits of cake.
Birds landed and ate the crumbs.
White Rabbit was furious and threw himself onto the ground to rescue what was left of the cake.
Noone cared that the cake was picked up from the ground.
The rest of them helped White Rabbit to carry the remaining pieces.
Luckily they soon reached the cave.
Christopher Robin laid out a lovely, large blanket.
They all plonked themselves down.
Eeyore passed the cake pieces around.
Tigger was very upset with himself for causing such chaos. He felt that he had ruined the day for everyone.
He stood back and stayed in a corner where he felt that nobody could see him.
He was unaware that Kanga was keeping an eye on him allowing him some time to settle.
Eventually Piglet wandered over to him holding out a piece of cake.
A tear ran down Tigger's face as he saw the outstretched hand. He did not feel that he deserved to share what was left of the beautiful cake. Gumnut Baby was now standing with them and taking the piece of cake put it up to Tigger's mouth at the same time holding onto his paw gently.
Slowly others noticing the kind gesture from Piglet and Gumnut baby, joined them.
One by one they gave their friend Tigger a hug to let him know that he mattered to them and they were not upset with him.
A loud bang was heard from outside the cave. Owl flew close to the entrance of the cave just in time to see a flash of lightening spread across the sky.
Thunder sounded in the distance and then they heard the heavy rain hitting the ground.
They were stranded and frightened. They all huddled closely together. When would they be able to leave the cave?
