"This could be the room of any small boy." "But it happens to belong to Christopher Robin." "Like most small boys, Christopher Robin has many stuffed animal friends." "And together, they had many remarkable adventures in an enchanted place called the 100 Acre Wood." "Now, his best friend is a certain little bear." "One of the grandest of their many grand adventures began around and about this day." "A most delightful time of candies and cards, a day of valentines." "But happy as it was, the day brought with it a certain uncertainty." "For this was also a time of change." "And change does not come easily for some bears, especially a bear named Winnie the Pooh." "Christopher!" "Robin?" "Bother." "He is always here, except for those occasions when he isn't." "Which must mean he is... elsewhere." "Piglet." "Piglet." "Are you there?" "Or thereabout?" "No, Pooh." "I mean, yes, Pooh." "I mean..." "Perhaps I'll be in later?" "Oh, dear." "Have you seen Christopher Robin this morning?" "No, Pooh Bear, not this morning." "Or the morning before." "Or the afternoon after the day before." "Yes, it's true." "He hasn't been by much at all lately, has he?" "I do wonder what might be the matter." "Perhaps he's busy with something?" "Maybe a surprise." "Maybe." "Maybe not." "Depending." " On what?" " Yes." "On what?" "And what is it that you have there, Piglet?" "Where?" "!" "I mean, where?" "I don't seem to see anything." " There." " This?" "Oh, this." "Well, I..." "I was making a Valentine's card, Pooh Bear." "For you." "Oh, that's quite nice of you, Piglet." "But Valentine's isn't till..." "Tomorrow." "You mean Valentine's falls on tomorrow this year?" "Well, perhaps that is what Christopher Robin is up to." "He must be making valentines for us all." "And so Pooh and his friends went to find the boy." "But what they found was very strange, indeed." "Excuse me." "I beg your pardon." "What do we see?" "What's happening now?" "Would you take a look at that?" "What is it?" "What's he doing?" "Oh, my." "Look now." "Did you ever see such a thing?" "Such a thing as what?" "By dingy, he's writing something." "Which particular something is he writing?" "Dear..." "He's writing to a deer!" "I bet you a buck he's fawning over some doe." "More letters." "W..." " I..." " N..." "Who or what could it be?" "It's your name." "He's spelling W-l-N-N..." "The Pooh." "That's how I spell it too." "Dear Winifred." " Winifred?" " Winifred?" " Winnie the who?" " Winifred." "But what, precisely, is a Winifred exactly?" "A Winifred, my dear friend, is a girl." " A girl?" " A girl." " A girl." " A what?" "A girl!" "It's like a boy only not, if you see what I mean." "Oh!" "No." "Girls are like boys Except they're quite different" "And even their differences Are not the same" "A boy sputters and squawks A girl putters and preens" "And each wants to say What the other one means" "So to speak." "Girls are like boys Except they're quite different" "Because of their differences Each is unique" "A girl sees what she likes A boy likes what he sees" "He ruffles her feathers She wobbles his knees" "Any questions, please?" "In some certain way A boy looks at a girl" "A girl looks at a boy In a similar way" "A girl and a boy What more can I say?" "They're as different as dawn is To morning each day" "They're really quite different In every way" "But does that mean Christopher Robin will no longer be interested in us?" " Oh, piffle." "Don't you understand?" "Christopher Robin's been bitten by a Smitten." "Its bite can cause love sickness." "Well, then we must get him to a doctor." "Oh, my dear bear." "The Smitten is merely a member of the Love Bug family." "Oh, dear." "Whatever shall we do?" "We must proceed with caution." "Love sickness, so I've heard, is very serious and highly catching." "Then we gotta do something, and do it fast." "I got it!" "We gotta go get another Smitten to unsmite him." "Nonsense, Tigger, that's absurd." "That's ridic..." "Say!" "That's not a bad idea." "If a second Smitten smites him, it should cancel the first." "Then we shall get him one." "Let's go." "Easy, Pooh boy." "Not so fast." "If you wanna snare a Smitten, the first thing you need is bait." "Picture perfecto." " But Tigger, where is the bait?" " Right there, buddy bear." "What self-respecting Smitten could resist a lovely young lad, standing on a hilltop, holding a bouquet of forget-me-nots?" "Isn't that hilltop an anthill-top?" "Oh, dear!" "No matter, them forget-me-nots is poison ivy." "Oh, dear!" "It's the best I could do on short notice." "Oh, bother." "Somebody or something has found my honey." "Oh, my." "I've never seen such a strange and peculiar whatever it is." "You don't suppose it's a..." "Could it be the..." "The Smitten!" "Oh, no." "It's going." " It's going!" " It's gone." "We must find it." "Or Christopher Robin will never again be as he was." "And off they went in search of the creature." "And they searched  and they searched." "Until at last, they found themselves deep in the unknown heart of the 100 Acre Wood." "Oh, it's almost Valentine's and I don't think we shall ever find this Smitten." "Why, it could be in most any part of anywhere." "I do hope these Smittens aren't fierce creatures." "Smittens are monstrous thingies, all right." "One bite and..." "And..." "I don't wanna talk about it." "It's too all-fired awful." "But why?" "What happens?" "When the love bug bites You feel a little itch" "You scratch and scratch and scratch it But the itch becomes a twitch" "When the Smitten smites Everything's a blur" "Topsy turns all turvy And you isn't what you were" "When the love bug smites You shake in disbelief" "And your head gets all balloony With humongous hairy teeth" "When the Smitten bites You make blibbering-blabbering sounds" " You get all googly-woogly" " Smashing crashing all around" "When the light takes flight You go screaming through the wood" "I'm not quite sure what happens But it can't be very good" "When the love bug bites" "Look!" "Look!" "It's him!" "Him's it!" "I mean, follow that Smitten!" "Oh, dear!" "Oh, here it..." "Bother." "No, there it is." "There!" "Now Pooh Bear, wait!" "Don't go running off and..." "Oh, my!" "No!" "This way, everyone." "But which way is this way?" "That way is this way." "No way!" "It's that way." "The one thing we know is nobody knows." "Oh, dear." "I have it!" "Now Christopher Robin will be quite all right." "Look, Piglet." "Rabbit?" "Tigger?" "Gopher?" "Eeyore?" "Anyone?" "Bother." "Hello?" "Hello?" "Oh, if only Christopher Robin were here to show us the way." "But he is not." "And I'm afraid we are very lost." "Don't worry, Piglet, old pal." "We'll find our way." "Just keep a tight hold of..." "What was that?" "Being all by their lonely lonesomes is not something Tiggers like best." "Oh, my." "Just look at it, a-winking and a-blinking." "It is a Smitten, isn't it?" "Whatever it is, it brought us out of the dark and back together." "Yep, the Smitten's shining its light on all of us." "He certainly is." "Now we can get this back to Christopher Robin so Christopher Robin can get back to being Christopher Robin." "And then he can get back to being with us." "I've been looking everywhere." "Where have you all been?" "Where haven't we been?" "Go on, Pooh." "Debug the boy." "Pooh?" "Yes, Christopher?" "There's something I wanted to show you." "All of you." "Go on, buddy bear, let him have it." "I made this card for a..." "Well, a friend." "A new friend." "And I wonder, what do you think of it?" "Oh, it's very nice, indeed." "Do you suppose she'll like it?" " Oh, certainly." " No doubt." " You betcha!" " Yup." " I'm most sure of it." " I'm awfully glad to hear that." "Well, what are you waiting for?" "Pooh Bear, no!" "How we ever gonna get the kid back to his old self?" "Oh, why did you let it go?" "Because, Christopher Robin is happy as he is." "And I shouldn't want it any other way." "This is the saddest Happy Valentine's I can recall." "What have we here?" "Z-X-L-Q-M" "Yep!" "Yes sirree, it's for me." "Oh, what's this?" "Look at this!" "For little old me." "Mistake, no doubt." "Christopher!" "Christopher Robin!" "It's a card from you." "Is it really for me, Christopher?" " It really is." " But..." " But..." " But what, Pooh?" "But we thought you found a new friend." "Oh, Pooh." "There's a place right here" "And it's really rather small" "But this rather small place" "Knows the grandest thing of all" "It knows when understanding" "Can be hard to understand" "It knows that words aren't needed" " When you take somebody's hand" " Like mine?" "It knows that you are with me" "In everything I do" "It's that special corner of my heart" "The place that I call "Pooh"" "Oh, Christopher." "There are places in the heart" "That always know a friend" "In good and glad and sad times" "The heart remembers them" "There are new friends yet to meet" "There's a place for them to start" "But old friends always keep" "Their places in the heart" "Old friends like..." "Us!" "Oh, Pooh." "I care just as much about you as I always have." "I guess I thought that too." "Still, it's very nice to hear it said." "Silly old bear." "There are places in the heart" "That always know a friend" "In good and glad and sad times" "The heart remembers them" "There are new friends yet to meet" "There's a place for them to start" "But old friends always keep" "Their places in the heart" "I love you, Pooh." "And so as winter changes into spring which changes into summer, there are things which go on forever, unchanging." "Such as the way a certain boy cares for a certain bear." "And we will know, for as long as we care to remember, that somewhere in that enchanted place on top of the forest, a boy and his bear will always be playing."
