This is the story of Winnie the Pooh and the magical town. Let us begin.
Winnie the Pooh is a bear of very little brain, and so it is no surprise he had not been anywhere outside the Hundred Acre Wood. One day Christopher Robin decided to take just him into town with his mother. This would be Pooh's first time anywhere outside his friends. Christopher Robin made sure to bring a jacket for himself and Pooh. He wrapped a red knitted scarf around his neck. He waved goodbye to the others before he left.
"Will there be honey where we are going?" he asked Christopher Robin.
"I am sure there will be. After all we are visiting a bakery. They should have sweet things," he reassured him. They all walked through the deep forest to get into town. The sun was bright and it was warm. The birds were chirping and the fog had lifted from last night's rainstorm.
"Are there any hefflelumps in this forest?" Pooh grasped onto his leg.
"Silly old bear, there should be none since Mommy's here. I think parents know how to make those kinds of things go away. I don't think I've seen a hefflelump," Christopher Robin pondered as they continued their journey.
Before they knew it, they were in the town. It was a busy time of the day to be doing errands. The townspeople were selling and buying all kinds of things. Christopher Robin obeyed his mother by holding her hand and making way through the crowd. Finally, they were at the place they needed to go: the bakery. It had no sign, but within the first few steps nearby one could smell the sweet aroma of sugar and bread. Pooh was very excited to visit such a place. All of three of them all walked in. It was a building made of wood and many ovens. It was nice and warm inside.
"Good morning Cinderella, what a fine morning it is!" Christopher Robin's mother greeted her. Cinderella had a beautiful white apron on with little yellow flowers. She had some flour on her cheek from all the baking.
"Good morning Mrs. Milne and yes today is beautiful. I don't think I met your little boy before?" she smiled down at Christopher Robin and Pooh.
"You haven't met my bear. His name is Pooh," he made sure Pooh wouldn't be too shy. His paw shook her delicate hand as he held him. "My name is Christopher Robin."
"Well Christopher Robin and Pooh, it is wonderful to meet you both. Your mother has been getting bread here since she was just about your age I'm told. Mr. Baker, Red, and Jack, are a little busy today with cakes and pies, so I am here doing bread duty." A baby named Phillip slept peacefully nearby in a little wicker basket with a silver rattle, cooing.
Pooh looked up at her and asked "I see you have a round tummy too. I take it you must like honey too?" he pointed at her protruding belly.
"It is certainly not from honey," she laughed, gently rubbing it. "I am about to have a child of my own soon."
"Congratulations!" Mommy said, patting her on the shoulder. "You are going to be a great mom."
"Thank you. Let me where your things," she went through to make sure she got her orders down correctly. "Let's see here, three loaves of bread, and an extra large jar of honey. It was all made this morning. Jack has been doing beekeeping for us. I am told someone likes honey very much in your family."
"So wonderful the kids are pitching in, maybe one day Christopher will get to meet them?"
"I am sure he will," she smiled as his mother paid the bill.
"Thank you so much for coming and bringing your friend. I am sure Red and Jack would love to hear all about him," she spoke to Christopher Robin.
"He goes on many adventures. I will tell you about them one day."
"Thank you Cinderella and I hope you have a pleasant day."
"The same to you as well and have a safe journey home," Cinderella waved goodbye as they headed home.
Pooh had a small helping of the honey as they headed on the journey back. Pooh's friends gathered around to him to hear about his journey. They were happy to hear of no hefflelumps and long descriptions of the baked goods in the bakery.
"Humph! It is not a real bakery if they don't do carrot cake. Everyone knows carrot cake is the best," Rabbit decreed.
"Anytime I don't have to appease the bees is the best," Pooh had a very sticky face. He was very happy to be home and happy to have met some new friends along the way.
