Messages from Winnie-the-Pooh
Today,/I’d like to introduce/one of my favorite books,/Winnie-the-Pooh. I have read this book/many times/since I was a child.
The book was written by A. A. Milne,/a British author,/in 1926. It is about Winnie-the-Pooh/and his friends. Pooh spends his days in a forest/with Christopher Robin,/Piglet,/Eeyore,/and some other animals. Every character is unique.
How did the author create these characters? Milne had a son,/Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin played/with many stuffed animals. He and the stuffed animals/became models for the characters/in the book. The book has been popular/around the world/for about 100 years.
Recently/I read Winnie-the-Pooh again. Then/I found some new messages/in the book.
Here is one example. Pooh and Piglet find footsteps/in the snow/and follow them around a tree. They wonder,/“Whose footsteps are these?” They have been walking around the tree. After a while,/they realize/that the footsteps are their own. Pooh gets disappointed with himself/and says to Christopher nearby,/“I have been foolish,/and I am a bear/of no brain at all.” Christopher responds,/“You’re the best bear/in all the world.”
Christopher probably means,/“Don’t worry. I like you/as you are.” The characters in this book/all respect each other/and accept others/as they are.
I also read/The House at Pooh Corner. The book has heartwarming messages,/too.
The last episode is especially moving. Christopher tells Pooh/that he cannot see Pooh for a while/because he has to start school. Christopher says,/“Pooh,/promise you won’t forget about me,/ever. Not even when I’m a hundred.” Pooh asks,/“How old will I be then?” Christopher answers,/“Ninety-nine.” Then/Pooh says,/“I promise.” This interaction shows/that real friendships last/for a long time.
I had not noticed these messages/until I read the books again. Both of the books/have meaningful messages for us,/high school students.
