The house at Pooh Corner

by A. A. Milne

Piglet (surprised): "Hullo! This is a trap I've made, and I'm waiting for a Heffalump to fall into it."

Heffalump (greatly disappointed): "Oh!" (After a long silence): "Are you sure?"

Piglet: "Yes."

Heffalump: "Oh!" (nervously): "I—I thought it was a trap I'd made to catch Piglets."

Piglet (surprised): "Oh, no!"

Heffalump: "Oh!" (Apologetically): "I—I must have got it wrong, then."

Piglet: "I'm afraid so." (Politely): "I'm sorry." (He goes on humming.)

Heffalump: "Well—well—I—well. I suppose I'd better be getting back?"

Piglet (looking up carelessly): "Must you? Well, if you see Christopher Robin anywhere, you might tell him I want him."

Heffalump (eager to please): "Certainly! Certainly!" (He hurries off.)
