Pooh’s Cruise, a shorty story by Jessica Kerkhof
“Anchors away!” yelled Tigger as Pooh’s cruise sailed closer to an island.
“We’ve found land!” shouted Piglet from the crow’s nest.
“Come on, let’s go.” called Pooh.
Once they were all safely on land Rabbit said “I guess we should set up our tent.”
“Yes.” agreed Kanga.
“Mama, I’m going bouncing with Tigger.” Roo said.
“All right,” said Kanga, “Just don’t get lost.”
“All right.” Roo called, “Come on Tigger, let’s go.”
“Wheeee!” yelled Tigger.
“Well, Roo buddy, where do you want to go bouncing to? Huh?”, said Tigger.
“I was thinking of going around this island.” said Roo.
“Oh,” said Tigger, “Then what are you waiting for? Let’s go!”
“Yeah,” said Roo, “Let’s go!”

“Mmmm, I love hunny cakes. Don’t you?” asked Piglet.
“Yes. I do believe so.” said Pooh.
“Well, where do you think we are?” asked Roo, who was really behind a rock that hid the campsite.
“I don’t know.” said Tigger, “Let’s retrace our footsteps.”
“Ok!” said Roo.
In the morning they woke to the smell of nuts, hunny, and bananas roasting over the fire.
“Morning all!” said Tigger, “How’s it going?”
“Pretty good, if I do say so myself.” said Pooh.
“Oh good!” said Tigger, “I have presents for everyone!”
“Yeah!” said Roo, “We found shells on the beach!”
“Thanks! Yeah, thanks!” said everyone.
“Look! Rabbit’s roasting marshmallows!” said Kanga.
In a couple of days Pooh and Piglet decided it was time to go. They left the island and pretty soon they were back at the Hundred Acre Woods. Christopher Robin held a big party for them. The party was very fun, but when it was over everyone was glad to go to bed, nice comfy cozy bed. Read the rest of this entry →
