HOW TO CATCH A HEFFALUMP It was a beautiful, bird-singing, picnic kind of day in the Hundred-Acre Wood. Where shall we have our picnic, Christopher Robin? asked Piglet. I m not sure. We ll stop when we find a good picnic spot, answered Christopher Robin. Oh, let s stop here! declared Pooh. How do you know this is a good picnic spot? wondered Christopher Robin. My tummy says that it s time to stop for lunch. And our lunch is in the picnic basket. So I think this must be a good spot for a picnic. Silly old bear, laughed Christopher Robin. The friends spread out the red-and-white cloth on the ground. It was a friendly, bird-feeding and honey-eating kind of picnic. You know, Christopher Robin said, pointing. I thought I saw a heffalump right over there. A heffalump? said Piglet. W-w-where? Piglet was not quite sure what a heffalump was. But Piglet thought It sounded like a very large animal. It s not there now, said Christopher Robin. I thought I saw one yesterday. I wish I had caught it. Then I could have shown it to you. That would have been nice, Pooh said. When they had finished their lunch, Christopher Robin had to go home. Christopher Robin waved. Good-bye, Pooh. Good-bye Piglet. Good-bye, called Pooh and Piglet as they waved back. The two friends packed up their picnic things. That was fun, wasn t it Pooh? asked Piglet. It was very nice of Christopher Robin to bring the picnic, Pooh agreed. Perhaps we could do something nice to thank him, Pooh said. What a good idea, Pooh. What should we do? wondered Piglet. Pooh thought for a moment. I know. We shall catch a heffalump for Christopher Robin! Pooh shouted happily. A h-h-heffalump? Piglet asked nervously. Isn t that awfully dangerous, Pooh? Perhaps, Pooh replied. Heffalumps are clever animals, I think. We need a clever plan. So the two friends sat down to think of a clever plan. Think, think, think, said Pooh, tapping his head. Could we set some sort of trap? wondered Piglet. That seemed like a very clever plan to Pooh. But what sort of trap? He stood up and began to draw in the dirt. Nota 1

2 We could dig a deep hole, Pooh said. And the heffalump would fall into the hole. Where would we dig the hole? Piglet asked. Exactly where the heffalump would fall into it, Pooh answered. He drew a picture of the hole under a tree. Won t the heffalump see the hole? asked piglet. They are very clever animals. At least, I think they re clever. No, answered Pooh. The heffalump will be looking up, so he won t see himself fall down. Piglet smiled. Yes, he said, that is a very good plan. Heffalumps are always looking up. Piglet did not really know if heffalumps always looked up or not, but he thought they did. One problem still remained how would they lure the heffalump to the hole? I know! said Piglet excitedly. Heffalumps are very large, so they must eat a lot of food! Piglet drew a heffalump in the dirt to show Pooh how big it was. Or at least how big he thought it was. Maybe it would come to the hole if there was food, said Piglet. But what food do heffalumps like, Pooh? Piglet turned around to find that Pooh had fallen asleep! All this heffalump talk had tired out the bear s little brain! Pooh? said Piglet. Yes? said Pooh sleepily. What do you think a heffalump likes to eat? Piglet asked. Pooh thought of the only food he ever thought of. Honey, he replied. Yes! Piglet said excitedly. That is a good idea. Heffalumps like honey. At least he thought they did. Hooray! Piglet cried. We have a clever plan! So they decided that Pooh would go home to get a pot of honey. Meanwhile, piglet would get a shovel to dig the hole. When Pooh got home, he opened his cupboard. This pot is far too heavy to carry, he said. So pooh decided to remove some of the honey. And since he did not have anywhere to put the honey, he put it in his mouth. The honey pot was still heavy. So, as he walked along, Pooh ate some more. Then he ate more again. And again. And again. As pooh walked to meet Piglet, the pot felt much lighter, but for some reason, his stomach felt heavier! When Pooh arrived, Piglet had nearly finished digging the hole. Did you bring the honey? Piglet asked. Yes, answered Pooh. Pooh handed the honey pot to Piglet and together they placed it in the hole. The trap was all set. It was getting late. Pooh and Piglet decided to meet at their trap in the morning. Then they would see if they had caught a heffalump. Good night, Pooh, said Piglet. Good night, Piglet, said Pooh. Later that night, Pooh woke up with a rumbling in his tummy. It could only mean one thing he was hungry! So Pooh went to his cupboard for a pot of honey. But when he look inside, his last pot was empty! Where had all his honey gone? Oh, bother! Pooh said. 2

3 Suddenly he remembered. He had left a pot of honey in the heffalump trap! Heffalumps like honey, said Pooh. It will probably eat the whole pot! At least he thought it would. Pooh could not fall asleep. His empty tummy gave him strange thoughts. He kept imagining heffalumps chasing giant pots of honey! The more he thought about it, the more Pooh wondered if heffalumps really did like honey, after all. And if they did not, then the pot of honey in the trap would still be there, just waiting to be eaten. So Pooh jumped out of bed and ran out of the door. Soon, Pooh reached the heffalump trap. Pooh tried to see if there was a heffalump in the trap, but it was too dark to tell. So he moved closer to the hole. But he still couldn t see, so he moved even closer. And closer. Until OOPS! He fell into the hole. Pooh looked into the honey pot and decided that heffalumps did like honey, because there was only a little left in the pot. Who else could have eaten it? Pooh stuck his nose into the pot to lick the last few drops. At that very moment, Piglet was lying in bed thinking about the heffalump. I wonder what a heffalump looks like? Piglet said to himself. Is it very horrible? Piglet was quite worried. Heffalump were very large and he was very small. What should he do? I don t have to be afraid, Piglet said at last. He can t catch us while we re catching him! So first thing the next morning, Piglet ran to the trap. Very slowly, he inched closer to the hole. But he could not see anything. So he moved a little closer. Suddenly, Piglet saw a strange monster with a big round head! Piglet had never seen anything like this before. He was terrible excited! We ve caught a heffalump! He cried. Christopher Robin will be so happy! Piglet ran to Christopher Robin s house. Piglet was so excited that he didn t even stop to say hello. He just ran straight in. What is it, Piglet? Christopher Robin asked. He had never seen Piglet so excited. We ve caught a heffalump! Piglet shouted. You have? asked Christopher Robin. Yes! Piglet cried. It has a big, strange head the size of a honey pot! Show me, urged Christopher Robin. So Piglet took him to the trap. Christopher Robin walked right up to the edge of the trap and looked in. Piglet stayed safely behind him. Oh dear! cried Piglet. Can you see it? Can you? Yes, I can, Piglet, answered Christopher Robin. Is it horrible? Piglet asked excitedly. Christopher Robin smiled and began to laugh. And he laughed and laughed. Suddenly a loud noise came from the hole. CRACK! Piglet looked down and what did he see? Pooh! Piglet had thought it was a heffalump, but it was really Pooh with a honey pot stuck on his head! Later that day, Christopher Robin, Pooh and Piglet had another picnic in the woods. It was a beautiful day, with the sun shining down on the three friends. 3

4 We never did see a heffalump, said Piglet. That s okay, said Christopher Robin. Heffalumps are rather shy, anyway. Yes, agreed Pooh. Besides, I had no honey for it, and heffalumps love honey. At least I think they do! Christopher Robin laughed. Silly old bear, he said. I love you both so much! How to catch a Heffalump. Mr. Sanders Adapted by Diego Aguirre ACTIVITIES.
