nothing. The fact was that Pigiet
was wishing that ha had thought
about it first.
usf’r
One day, when Christopher Robin
and Winnie-the-Pooh and Pigiet
were all talkin gtogether, Christo-
pher Robin finished the mouthful
he was eating and said carelessly:
“I saw a Heffalump today, Piglet."
"What was it doing ?‘ asked Plg-
lek.
“Just lumping along," said Chris-
topher Robin. "I don’t think it saw
“1 Mw one once," eaid Piglet.
“At least I think I did," he said.
"Only perhaps it wasn’t."
"go did I." Mid Pooh, wondering
what a Heffalump was like.
“Tou don’t often see them," said
Christopher Robin carelessly.
"Not now," said Piglet.
"Not at this time of the year."
Mid Pooh.
Then they all talked about some-
thing else, until it was time for
Pooh and Piglet to go home to-
gether. At first, as they stumped
along the path which edged the
Hundred-Aero Wood, they didn't My
much to each other; but when they
, Mme to the stream, and had helped
Meh other across the stopping
stones, and were able to walk side
by side again over the heather, they
began to talk in a friendly way
about this and that, and Piglet Mid,
"If you see what I men. Pooh,” and
Pooh said, "It’s just what I think
myself, Piglet," and Piglet Mid,
“But on the other hand, Pooh, wo
must remember,” and Pooh said.
"Quite true, Pigiet, although 1 had
forgotten it for the moment."
And then, just as they came to
the Six Fine Trees, Pooh looked
round to see that nobody was lis-
tening. and Mid in a very solemn
Pooh excitedly. “Only very care-
fully so as not to hurt myself, and
1 would get to the Jar of Honey,
and I should lick round the edges
first of all, pretending that there
wasn’t any more, you know, and
then I should walk away and think
about it a little, and then I should
come back and etart licking in the
middle of the jar, and then—" .
“Yes, well, never mind about that.
There you would be, and there 1
should catch you. Now the first
iking to think of is, What do Heff-
alumps like? I should think acorns,
shouldn’t you? We’ll get a lot of
—I My. wake up Pooh!
Pooh, who had gone into a happy
dream, woke up with a start and
Mid that Honor wae a much more
trappy thing than Haycorns. Pig-
let didn’t think so; and they were
just going to argue about it, when
Piglet remembered that. if they put
acorns In the trap, the would have
to find the acorns, but if they put
honey, then Pooh would have to
give up come of his own honey, so
he Mid. “All right, honey then,"
just as Pooh remembered it too,
and was going to My. “All right
haycorns."*
“Honey,” said Piglot to himself
in a thoughtful way, as if it were
settled. "I'll dig the pIL while you
go and get the honey."
"Very well," said Pooh and he
stumped off.
As soon as he got home, be went
to the larder; and he stood on a
chair, and took down a very large
jar of honey from the top shelf.
It had HUNNY written on it, but,
just to make sure, he took off the
paper cover and looked at it, and It
looked just like honey. “But you
never can tell," Mid Pooh. “I re-
member my uncle saying once that
he bad seen cheese just this color."
So he put his tongue in, and took
a large lick. “Yes," he Mid. "It is.
No doubt about thaL And honey, I
should My. right down to the bot-
tom of the jar. Unless, of course,"
be Mid, “somebody put choose in
at the bottom just for a joke. Per-
haps I had better go a little fur-
ther. .'. just In case. . .In case
Heffalumps don't like cheese...
same as me. ,. Ah!" And he gave
a deep sigh. ‘‘I was right. It is
honey, right the way down."
Having made certain of this, ho
took the jar,back to Piglet, and
Piglet looked up from the bottom of
hto Very Deep PIL and Mid “Got
nr and Pooh Mid, PYes, but II
isn't quite a full jar,” add ha throw
"I shall do IL" Mid Pooh, after
waiting a little longer, “by means
of a trap. And it must be a sun-
ning trap, M you will have to help
me. Piglet"
* “Pooh,” Mid Piglet feeling quite
happy again now, "I wilt" And
then he said, “How shall we do it?"
and Pooh Mid. "That’s just IL How?
And then they Mt down together
to think it but
Poe’s first IdM was that they
should dig a Very Deep Pit and
| then the Heffalump would come
I along and fall into the Pit and-
“Why?” said Piglet
"Why what? said Pooh. -----
“Why would: he fall tar
Pooh rubbed his nose with Me
paw, and said that the Heffalump
might be walking along, humming
a little song, and looking up at the
sky, wondering if It would rain,
and so he wouldn't see the Very
Deep Pit until he wae half-way-
dawn, when it would be too late.
Piglet Mid that this was a very
good trap, but supposing it were
raining already?
Pooh rubbed his nose again, and
said he hadn’t thought of that. And
then he brightened up, and Mid
that. It it were raining already, the
Heffalump would be looking at the
sky wondering if it would clear up.
and so he wouldn’t eee the Very *
Deep Pit until ha was half-way- •
down... When it would be too late.
Piglet Mid that, now that this
point had been explained, he thought
It was a Cunning Trap.
Pooh was very proud when he
heard this, and he felt that the
Heffalump was as good as caught
already, but there was just one It down to Piglot, ar: Piglet said,
other thing which had to be thought
about, and it was this: Where
should they dig the Very Deep Pit?
Piglet said that the best place
would be somewhere where a Hoffa-
lump wae. Just before he fell into
IL only about a foot further on.
“Ne, It Ion'll Is that all you’ve got
left?" and Pooh said “Yes." Because
it was. So Pigiet put, the jar at the
bottom of the Pit, aad climbed out,
and they went off home together.
“Well, good-night, Pooh." Mid
Piglet, when they had got to Pooh’s
voice:
. “Piglet, i have decided something."
“What have you decided, Pooh?"
-I have decided to catch a Heff-
alump.” ,
Pooh nodded his head several
times and he said this, and waited
for Piglet to say “How!" or "Pooh,
you couldn’t!” or somethin* help-
ful of that sort, but Piglet said
"But then he would see us dig-
ging IL." said Pooh.
"Not if he was looking at the
r" "He would Suspect,” said Poor,
"if he happened to look down." He
thought for a long time and then
added sadly, "It isn’t as easy M 1
thought. I suppose that's why
Heffalumps hardly ever got caught.”
"That must be it," Mid Piglet.
They sighed and got up: and
when they had taken a few gorse
prickles out of themselves they Mt
down again; and all the time Ponh
was saying to himself, "If I only
could think of something!" For
he felt sure that a Very Clever
Brain could catch a Heffalump If
only he knew the right way to go
about It.
"Suppose," he said to Piglet, “you
wanted to catch me, how would
you do it?" .
“Well,” said Piglet, "I should do
it like this. I should make a Trap,
and I should put a Jar of Money
In the Trap, and you would smell
house. "And wa meet at ata o’clock
tomorrow morning by the Fine
Trees, and see how many Hetfa-
lumps we’ve got in our trap."
“Six o'clock. And have you got
My string. Piglet?”
“No. Why do you want string?
"To load them home with."
“Oh!, . .I think Heffalumps come
if you whistle."
“Some do and some don’t. You
never can tell with Heffalumps.
Well, good-night!”
‘Good-night!" -
And off Piglet trotted to his
house TRESSPASSERS W. while
Pooh made his preparations for bed
Some hours later, just as the
night was beginning to steal away.
Pooh woke up suddenly with a
sinking feeling. He had had that
sinking fooling before, and he knew
what It meant. He was hungry. So
he went to the larder, and he stood
on a chair and reached up to the
top shelf, and found—nothing.
"That's funny," he thought. “I
know 1 had a Jar of honey there. A
full jar, full of honey right up to
the top, and It had HUNNY writ-
ten on II, so that I should know
it was honey. That's very funny."
And then he began to wander up
and down, wondering where it was
and murmuring a murmur to him-
self. Like this.
was licking its jawe, and saying to
itself, “Very good honey this, I
don’t know when I’ve tasted bet-
ter,” Pooh could bear It be longer.
He jumped out of bed, he ran out
of the house, and he ran straight
to the Six Pine Trees.
The Sun was still in bed, but
there was a lightness in the sky
over the Hundred-Aere Wood which
seemed to show that it was waking
up and would soon be kicking off
the clothes. In the halfuight the
Pine Trees looked cold and lonely,
and the Very Deep Pit seemed deep,
er than It was, and Pooh’s jar of
honey at the bottom wan some,
thing mysterious, a ebape and no
more. But as he got nearer to It. hla
nose told him that it wae Indeed
honey, and hla league came out and
began to polish up his mouth, ready
for IL
“Bother! said Pooh, aa he got
his nose inside the jar. "A Hoffa-
lump baa been eating it!" And then
he thought a little and said, "Oh
no. I did. I forgot."
Indeed, be had eaten meet of IL
But there was a little left at the
very bottom of the jar, and he
pushed his read right la. and be-
gan to lick...
By aad by Piglet woke up. As
soon aa be woke, he Mid to himself,
“Oh!” Thea he Mid bravely, "Yes."
and then, etui more bravely, “Quite
so.” But he didn’t feel very brave,
for the word that was really jiget-
tins about in his brain was "Hetfa-
lumps."
What was a Heffalump like?
Was it Fierce?
Did it come when you whistled!
And bow did it come?
Was it Fond of Pigs at all?
If it was Fond of Plgs, did It
make any difference what sort of
Figi
Supposing it was Pierce with
Pigs, would it make any difference
if the Pig had a grandfather called
TRESPASSERS WILLIAM?:
He didn’t know the answer to any
of these questions. . .and he was
going to eee his first Heffalump in
about an hour from now!
Of course Pooh would be with
him, and It was much more Friendly
with two. But suppose Heffalumps
were Very Fierce with Plgs and
Bears? Wouldn't it be better to
pretend that he had a headache,
and couldn't go up to the Six Fine
Trees this morning? But then sup-
poos that It was a very fine day.
and there was no Heffalump in the
trap, here he would be. In bed all
the morning, simply wasting his
time for nothing. What should he
dor
And then he had a Clover Idea. He
would go up very quietly to the Six
Pine Trees now, poop very cautious-
ly into the Trap, and see If there
was a Heffalump there. And it

“It’s really very funny.
'Coe I know I had some honey;
Coe it had a label on.
Saying HUNNY.
A goloptious full-up pet toe,
And I don't know where it’s got
No, I don't know where it’s gone—
Well, it’s funny."
He had murmured thia to himself
three times in a singing sort of
way, when suddenly he remembered.
He had put it Into the Cunning
Trap to catch the Heffalump.
"Bother!" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
“Blow!" Mid Winnie-the-Pooh. •
"It all comes,” he said, "of try-
ing to be kind to Heffalumps." And
he got back Into bed.
But he couldn’t Bleep. The more
he tried to Bleep, the more he
couldn't. He tried Counting Sheep,
which la sometimes a good way of
getting to eloop, and, as that was
no good, he tried counting Hetfa-
lumps. And that wae worse. Bee
cause every Heffalump that he
counted was making straight for
a pot of Pooh’s honey, and eating
It all.
For some minutes he lay there
miserably, but when the five hun-
dred and eighty-seventh Heffalump

there was, he would go book to bed,
and if there wasn’t, he wouldn’t.
So off he went. At first bo
thought that there wouldn’t be a
Heffalump la the Trap, and then he
thought that there would, aad as
he got nearer he was sure that
there would, because he could bear
it heffalumping about it like any-
thing.
“Oh dear, eh dear, oh dear! Mid
Piglet to himself. And he wanted
to run away. But somehow, having
get M near, he felt that he must
just see what a Heffalump was like
do he crept to the side of the Trap
and looked in.
And all this time Winnie-the-Pooh
had boon trying to get the honey-
Jar off his head. The more he shook
IL ths more tightly it stuck.
"Bother r he Mid. Inside the jar,
and "Oh, help!" and, mostly. ‘Ow!”
And he tried bumping it against
things, but as he couldn't see what
he was bumping It against, it didn't
help him; and he tried to climb out
of the Trap, but as he could see
nothing but Jar, and not much of
that, he couldn’t find his way. Bo
at last, he lifted up his head, Jar
and all, and made a loud rearing
nolea of Madness and Doepair—and
it was at that moment that Piglet
looked down.
“Help! Help!” erled Pirlet, "A
Heffalump, a Horrible Heffalump!”
and he scampered off as hard as he
could, still crying cuL "Help! Help!
A Horrible Hotfalump! Hoff! Hoff!
A Hellible Horralump! Holl! Holll
A Hoffable Helerump!” And he
didn't stop crying and scampering
until he got to Christopher Robins'
house.
“Whatever’s the matter, Piglet!"
•aid Christopher Robin, who was
just getting up.'
"Hoff- said Piglet, breathing sen
hard that he could hardly speak.
Hetf—a Heff—a Heffalump.”
“Where!”
“Up there,” Mid Pigiet, waving
his paw.
"What did it look like?’ ' : I
“Like—like—It had the biggest,
head you over MW. Christopher. A l
great enormous thing, like—like h
no—tiling. A huge big—well, like 1

“Well,” said Christopher Robin,
putting on hla boots, ‘I shall go and
look at IL Come on.”
Piglet wasn’t afraid if he bad
Christopher with him, m off they

“I Ma hear IL can’t you?” Mid
Piglet anxiously, as they got near.
"I can bear something.” said .
Christopher Robin.
It was Pooh bumping hie head
against a Tree-root be had found. .
‘There!” Mid Piglet. “Isn't it
awful?” And be held tight to
Christopher Robin’s hand.
Suddenly Christopher Robin began
to laugh—and he laughed—and he
laughed-and he laughed. And
while he was still laughing—Crash
went the Heffalump’s head against
the tree-root. Smash went the jar,

Then Piglet Mw what a Foolish
Pigiet he had been, and he was no
ashamed of himself that he ran
straight off home and went to bed
with a headache. But Christopher
Robin and Pooh went home to
breakfast together.
