“Mind you don’t get blown away, little Piglet,” said Eeyore. “You’d be missed. People would say, ‘Where’s little Piglet been blown to?’”
The wind was against them now, and Piglet’s ears streamed behind him like banners as he fought his way along. ~A.A.Milne

“What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do YOU say, Piglet?”

Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
“It’s the same thing.” ~A.A.Milne

“Christopher Robin depends on Me,” said Rabbit. He’s fond of Pooh and Piglet, but they haven’t any Brain, so there’s really nobody but Me. I’ll see if there’s anything he wants doing, and then I’ll do it for him. It’s just the day for doing things.” ~A.A.Milne #Thursday
