A hair-trigger Tigger
In the Happy & Hundred Acre Wood... Tigger was feeling a bit nervous. A new emotion for him?
Tigger: "Pooh... Did you know... There is a new animal in the Hundred Acre Wood?"
Pooh: "Oh, really? No, I have been busy looking for my Honey Pot... What animal is it?"
Tigger looked left, then right, then replied: "It is a very weird creature. Brown & very hairy!"
Pooh: "Does it scare you, Tigger? Is it... Dangerous? Should we get Christopher Robin's help?"
Tigger: "Maybe... But... Let's have a new 'Wood Watch' tonight. For this strange beasty, I say!"
And that very night, they did have a watch of the Hundred Acre Wood. But Pooh and Tigger got sleepy...
(the creature was not from the Hundred Acre Wood... or nearby. It was from another place entirely!)
After a small rustle in the Night... Came the Morning. Beautiful Sunrise & Dreamy Clouds...
"The Snuffle-Up-A-Gus... That's its name!" spoke Tigger, excitedly, this brand new day.
"Oh, bother... What is a 'Snuggle-Up-A-Fuss' anyways?" asked Pooh, a tiny bit curious now.
Tigger: "I saw it when I blinked one eye open, from my short nap last night. It told me its name!"
In the Afternoon Time, when Pooh was just Happy to have some lunch (enjoy some tea with his Honey),
Tigger brought in Christopher Robin. Maybe he could solve this new animal mystery, at last...
