    TRANSCRIPT:

    Hi. My name is Cooper Howland, and this is…A Little English. Every episode, I read a short story. After the story, there are three tiny lessons.

    So, let’s get into this story. Today we are reading Chapter Three of Winnie-the-Pooh, and I have once again invited Tabatha to play Christopher Robin. Are you ready, Tabatha? (Let’s DO this!) In this story, we are introduced to Piglet, who is Pooh’s closest animal friend. Pooh and Piglet do…well, they do a very silly thing. I don’t want to ruin the surprise, so we can talk about it after the story. For now, let’s get on with it!

    IIIIn Which Pooh and Piglet Go Hunting and Nearly Catch a Woozle

    The Piglet lived in a very grand house in the middle of a beech-tree, and the beech-tree was in the middle of the forest, and the Piglet lived in the middle of the house. Next to his house was a piece of broken board which had: “Trespassers W” on it. When Christopher Robin asked the Piglet what it meant, he said it was his grandfather’s name, and had been in the family for a long time, Christopher Robin said you couldn’t be called Trespassers W, and Piglet said yes, you could, because his grandfather was, and it was short for Trespassers Will, which was short for Trespassers William. And his grandfather had had two names in case he lost one⁠—Trespassers after an uncle, and William after Trespassers.

    “I’ve got two names,” said Christopher Robin carelessly.

    “Well, there you are, that proves it,” said Piglet.

    One fine winter’s day when Piglet was brushing away the snow in front of his house, he happened to look up, and there was Winnie-the-Pooh. Pooh was walking round and round in a circle, thinking of something else, and when Piglet called to him, he just went on walking.

    “Hallo!” said Piglet, “what are you doing?”

    “Hunting,” said Pooh.

    “Hunting what?”

    “Tracking something,” said Winnie-the-Pooh very mysteriously.

    “Tracking what?” said Piglet, coming closer.

    “That’s just what I ask myself. I ask myself, What?”

    “What do you think you’ll answer?”

    “I shall have to wait until I catch up with it,” said Winnie-the-Pooh. “Now, look there.” He pointed to the ground in front of him. “What do you see there?”

    “Tracks,” said Piglet. “Paw-marks.” He gave a little squeak of excitement. “Oh, Pooh! Do you think it’s a⁠—a⁠—a Woozle?”

    “It may be,” said Pooh. “Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn’t. You never can tell with paw-marks.”

    With these few words he went on tracking, and Piglet, after watching him for a minute or two, ran after him. Winnie-the-Pooh had come to a sudden stop, and was...
