In the far off world of Someday, there was the Hundred-Acre-Wood. And in the Hundred-Acre-Wood, there was a city. And in the city, there lived a bear. That bear's name was Winnie-the-pooh. That name was given to him by a boy named Christopher Robin, but his friends called him "Pooh" for the sake of brevity. Pooh started the day the same way he started every day: with his morning stretches. <<linkappend "He reached up to the ceiling,">> and then <<linkappend "down to touch his toes.">> <<linkappend "Up,">> then <<linkappend "down.">> <<linkappend "Up,">> then <<linkappend "down.">> Once Pooh was finished stretching, he opened his closet to find something to wear. There was <<linkappend "a set of overalls">><<replace "#demOveralls">>The overalls had a big hole in their pocket, and one of the straps was torn off. There was a sticky note attached to it that read, “ASk KAngA tO fiX.” “Perhaps I can find something else to wear,” Pooh said as he pushed the overalls aside. <</replace>><</linkappend>>, <<linkappend "a primary-coloured shirt">><<replace "#datShirt">>Pooh took the shirt out of the closet to examine it. “I don’t even remember why I have this shirt,” he said. "It's too big for me, and the tag is too itchy." He tossed it aside without giving it any further thought. <</replace>><</linkappend>>, <<linkappend "a mining helmet">><<replace "#datHelmet">>Pooh pulled the mining helmet out of the closet, and held it up in front of him. “Oh, I borrowed this helmet from Piglet," he said. "I should probably give it back to him.” He set the helmet aside. <</replace>><</linkappend>>, and <<linkappend "a belt labled \"POOH's UTiLitY BELt\"">><<replace "#datBelt">>Pooh strapped the belt around his body, over his shoulder, and looked himself in the mirror. “It’s good to always be prepared when it comes to the wood,” Pooh said to himself as he felt the hammer and screwdriver in their pockets on his toolbelt. "Speaking of which..." His stomach rumbling, Pooh opened his honey cupboard, and pulled out the first honeypot he saw. Inside, there were only a few heaping scoops worth of honey; enough for breakfast. Pooh happily guzzled down the honey, and then tossed the honeypot aside. [[“There!” he said. “I’m ready for the day!”|Pooh House]]<</replace>><</linkappend>>. <<set $honey = 0>> <<set $hasNet = false>> <<set $hasWire = false>> <<set $hasPot = false>> <<set $helpingPiglet = false>> <</linkappend>><</linkappend>><</linkappend>><</linkappend>><</linkappend>><</linkappend>>

"Hello Pooh," said Piglet. "Hello Piglet," said Pooh. "What are you doing?" "You remember the other day, when Christopher Robin told us about how he saw a heffalump, and you said that you saw it too?" "Yes, I remember," said Pooh, still wondering what a heffalump was. "I think Christopher Robin said he saw it somewhere in the subway tunnels." "I'm trying to come up with a plan to catch it," Piglet explained. "That way, we might be able to explore the subway safely. The problem is, I don't know the first thing about Heffalumps. I have no idea where to start." "Well, let's think." Pooh thought for a moment, then asked, "How would you catch me?" "Oh, that's simple," Piglet said. "I'd leave a pot of honey in a room, surrounded by tripwire. I'd then let you find the honey, and you would walk into the tripwire, causing a net to drop from above, and trap you." "A net?" Pooh mused. "I would've thought a hole would work just fine." "I thought about that," said Piglet, "but there's hardly anywhere in the Wood where you can dig a hole. The pavement is too thick." "Then I suppose we'll have to try the net," Pooh decided. "I'll help you set it up. I want to catch this heffalump as well." "Thank you, Pooh!" said Piglet. "We'll need some honey for a lure, some wire to trigger the trap, and a net for the trap itself." "How many of those do we have?" asked Pooh. "Right now, we have nothing," said Piglet. "Then I suppose I'll have to go and get what we need," Pooh said. "You can go prepare the location for our trap." "Good idea," said Piglet. "I suggest you start with Rabbit. He's always got plenty of supplies. I'll meet you at the subway entrance."<<set $helpingPiglet = true>> With that, Piglet ran to the hole in his yard, and climbed down into his tower. [[Pooh shortly followed, but Piglet was already out of sight.|Piglet Tower]]

<<if !$hasPot>><img src =Images/PoohHouse1.png /><<else>><img src = Images/PoohHouse2.png /><</if>> Pooh's home may have been basic, and a little dusty, but it was warm and inviting, just how he liked it. <<if !$hasPot>>An <<linkappend "empty honeypot">><<replace "#GetPot">>Pooh picked up the pot, and placed it in the satchel attached to his belt.

<img src = Images/PoohYard.png /> It was a beautiful day outside. The tree that grew atop [[Pooh's home|Pooh House]] gently swayed with the breeze. The sunlight shone on the metal plate that hung above Pooh's door, highlighting the engraving that spelled the word "SANDERZ". The yard was surrounded by chain-link fence, which Pooh presumed was to prevent people from falling off of Pooh Tower. However, there was a gate that allowed Pooh to use [[the stairway that led down the side of the tower|Pooh Tower]]. Over by the northern fence, there was a [[can on a string|Pooh can]].

Pooh's attic is filled with boxes of junk. [[> Go downstairs|Pooh House]]

<<include "eat honey">>Sunbeams shine through the cracked windows, bringing warmth to the cool shade of inside Pooh tower. The stairway on the side of the tower led back up to [[Pooh's yard|Pooh yard]], and all the way down to the [[ground floor|street]]. There was also a walkway that conveniently connected Pooh Tower and [[Piglet Tower]] together.

<img src=Images/PoohYardCan.png /> The can was strung across the street to the roof of the neighboring building<<if !$metPiglet && !$helpingPiglet>>, where Piglet was standing<</if>>. <<if !$metPiglet && !$helpingPiglet>><<if !$calledPiglet>><<linkappend "Pooh picked up the can, and spoke into it.">> "Good morning, Piglet!" "Good morning, Pooh!" came Piglet's voice from the can. "Could you come over? I need your help with something." "I'll be right there," said Pooh, before he put the can down.<<set $metPiglet = true>> <</linkappend>><</if>><</if>> [[Pooh left the can where it was.|Pooh yard]]

<<include "eat honey">>The streets were blooming with moss, as well as the occasional flower or patch of grass. There was a stairway that lead up the side of [[Pooh Tower]], and a doorway into [[Piglet Tower|Piglet Tower Ground]] The [[subway entrance|Subway]] could be seen next to the brass sign that read, "REMNANTS OF THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD - [[CITY PARK|City Park]] PROTECTED BY LAW". In the distance, Pooh could spot the Burger Barn sign that stood on top of [[Christopher Robin's hideout]]. Much further away was [[Rabbit's|Rabbit yard]] airborne wind turbine, floating in the sky. <<if $helpingPiglet>>[[Piglet|talk to Piglet]] was pacing back and forth nearby the subway, determining the best place for the heffalump trap.<</if>>

Piglet Tower consisted of empty hallways and abandoned offices. Most of the offices were a mess, but those closer to the top were looted clean. There was a [[rope ladder that lead up to the top of the tower|Piglet yard]], through a hole in the ceiling. There was a walkway which connected [[Pooh Tower]] and Piglet Tower together.

Pooh had no idea who Law was, but he was sure that they wouldn't mind if he were to visit the city park for a minute. The city park consisted of a single tree, which had grown so large and thick that it nearly took up the entire block, surrounded by several much smaller trees. Pooh heard a distinct buzzing noise. He looked up, and to his delight, he could spot a cloud of bees swarming in front of a cavity midway up the tree - undoubtedly a [[beehive]]. After admiring the tree for some time, Pooh decided that he had seen enough, and that he should [[leave the park|street]] before Law came back.

<img src = Images/RabbitYard.png /> <<include "eat honey">>Pooh stood outside the barbed wire fence that surrounded Rabbit's yard. There were lots of vegetables growing in it, mainly carrots, but what attracted Pooh's attention was the buzzing of the wooden beehives, which stood proudly on top of the hill that Rabbit lived under. The only way in was through the front gate, which was locked. There was a <<linkappend "phone booth">><<replace "#phoneDude">> <<if !$helpingPiglet>>Pooh approached the phone, but then he remembered that Rabbit didn't like to be disturbed without a good reason. Since he didn't have one, he decided it was best to leave the phone alone.<<else>><<if !$hasNet>><<include "call Rabbit about Heffalumps">><<else>>Pooh picked up the phone, and called Rabbit. "Hello, Pooh," said Rabbit. "What can I help you with?" "I was wondering if you could provide more supplies for the heffalump trap," said Pooh. "No. I've already given you the net. Go scavenge the city if you need more." Pooh heard a click as Rabbit hung up the phone.<</if>><</if>><</replace>><</linkappend>> right next to the gate. Hung from it was a sign that read, "PLEASE CALL BEFORE VISITING. THANK YOU." <div id = "phoneDude"></div> Looking back, Pooh could see the city ruins where many residents of the Wood lived, including himself. [[It would take only a short walk to get back|street]].

Pooh picked up the phone, and dialed the number to call Rabbit. Conveniently, that number was written on the wall next to the phone. "Hello, who is this?" said a voice through the phone. "It's me, Pooh." "Pooh who?" "Winnie-the-pooh. Rabbit, are you home?" "Rabbit's not here," said the voice that sounded exactly like Rabbit. "Then who am I speaking to?" Pooh asked. "This is Rabbit's automated messenger," the voice lied. "I take messages for him when he's out. Which he is. He's absolutely not stalling for time while he gets the cameras working so that he can get a good look at a potential intruder." "Have you tried looking out the window?" Pooh suggested. After a moment, he saw Rabbit appear in the window next to the front door. "Oh, hello, Pooh," Rabbit said through the phone. "One moment." Rabbit opened the door, and hurriedly bounded over to meet Pooh at the front gate. "What can I do for you?" "Piglet and I are making a heffalump trap," Pooh explained. "But we need some-" "Stop," Rabbit interrupted. "Why are you wasting your time trying to catch a heffalump? There's no such thing as heffalumps." "But Christopher Robin said that he saw one," said Pooh. "Christopher Robin says a lot of things," said Rabbit. "Doesn't necessarily mean that they're all true." "Well, we're going to try and catch one anyway," said Pooh. "Could you lend some supplies for it?" Rabbit gave a sigh. "Fine, I'll help you catch your 'heffalump'. What do you need?" <<linkappend "Pooh asked if Rabbit had a net.">> "I do have a spare net that I can lend to you," said Rabbit. "I'm not really using it anyways. Let me go and get it." He leapt back into his hole, and came back carrying a neatly folded-up net. "Now don't be too reckless with this net," Rabbit cautioned. "I would like it back once you've caught your 'heffalump'." Pooh put a hand over his chest as he took the net from Rabbit. "I solemnly swear that I will return your net in as good condition as when you gave it to me," he swore. "Good, good," said Rabbit. "Anything else?"<<set $hasNet = true>> <</linkappend>> <<linkappend "Pooh asked if Rabbit had some wire.">> "Sorry," Rabbit said. "I used the last of my wire to re-anchor my wind turbine." <</linkappend>> <<linkappend "Pooh asked if Rabbit had some honey.">> "I do," said Rabbit. "But I'm not giving you any." "Why not?" "Because as soon as I do, you'll eat it." "No I won't," Pooh protested. "Oh really?" Rabbit went back into his house, then returned with a spoonful of honey. "If you can hold this spoon in your hand for more than ten seconds without eating any of the honey, I'll give you an entire pot." "Consider it done," said Pooh as he took the spoon from Rabbit. "I could resist the sweet temptation of honey for a whole day if I wanted to." "I'm sure you could," said Rabbit. "Would you like a napkin?" "Oh bother," said Pooh as he wiped the honey from his lips. He handed the empty spoon back to Rabbit. <</linkappend>>

The lobby was completely overgrown. Most of the windows were shattered. The elevator was out of order, and the stairway was collapsed. Pooh had planned to fix the elevator one day, but right now, the only way up was to climb a rope through a hole in the ceiling, which was too small for Pooh to fit through. <<if $helpingPiglet>>This was a good place to <<linkappend "look for supplies to help with Piglet's heffalump trap.">> Pooh walked up to a random cupboard, and pulled it open. <<if !$hasWire>>Inside, he found a spool of transparent fishing line that had been left forgotten. "Bingo!" Pooh said as he grabbed the spool. "This should work perfectly as tripwire!" <<set $hasWire = true>><<else>>It was empty. Pooh figured that it was probably better for him to look for more supplies elsewhere.<</if>><</linkappend>> <</if>>Pooh decided that there was nothing else for him to see here, and so [[he went back outside.|street]]

Piglet's house was elegantly carved into the tree that grew on top of Piglet Tower. The surrounding roof was covered with a thick layer of dirt and grass, and there was a vibrant flowerbed. <<if $helpingPiglet>>Piglet has gone down to the streets to prepare the heffalump trap.<<else>>[[Piglet is pacing back and forth in the flowerbed, lost in thought.|Piglet wants to catch a heffalump]]<</if>> There was a hole in the ground, and a rope ladder that led down into [[the upper floors of Piglet Tower|Piglet Tower]].

Pooh approached the glass doors of Christopher Robin's hideout, and noticed the sign that was hung on it: Out scavenging, back by tonight. - Christopher Robin Pooh briefly considered breaking in, but it felt rude to enter his friend's homes without an invitation, so he instead went to <<linkappend "explore the surrounding garden.">> There were multiple beds of potatoes, pumpkins, strawberries, and other fruits and vegetables. There were also several beds of different flowers, including pansies, roses, <<linkappend "lilies">><<replace "#pickFlower">> Pooh found a beautiful white lily, and plucked it.<<set $hasLily = true>><</replace>><</linkappend>>, daffodils, and more.<</linkappend>> After having spent enough time smelling the roses, Pooh decided to [[leave and come back later|street]].

"Hello again, Piglet," said Pooh. "Pooh!" Piglet said excitedly. "Did you find everything we need?" <<if !$hasNet || !$hasWire || $honey <= 0>>"Not quite," Pooh explained. "I still need to find <<if !$hasNet>>a net, <</if>><<if !$hasWire>>some wire, <</if>><<if $honey <= 0>>some honey, <</if>>>and then we can set up the trap." "Please be quick," said Piglet. "I'd rather not be here when the Heffalump decides to show its ugly head." "Don't worry," Pooh reassured. "Heffalumps hate bright light, so you should be fine, so long as you stay up here. [[I'll be right back|street]]."<<else>>"I believe so," said Pooh, presenting Rabbit's net, the spool of fishing wire, and the pot of honey. "Excellent!" Piglet clapped his hands together. "Now, when you're ready, we can [[begin setting up the trap]]!"<</if>>

Piglet and Pooh spent the afternoon setting up the trap inside the subway, under the light from piglet's work helmet. When they finished hanging the net and preparing the tripwire, Pooh carefully placed his honeypot, and then they climbed out of the subway. "Goodness!" remarked Piglet. "I didn't realize how much time we had spent on that trap! It's already sunset!" "I suppose we should get going then," said Pooh. "We'll come back here tomorrow morning." "Are you sure that our trap will capture a heffalump?" Piglet asked timidly. "If it doesn't, I don't know what will," Pooh said with all the confidence and certainty he could bolster. "If you say so," Piglet said as he turned to begin the ascent back up his tower. "Good evening, Pooh." "Good evening, Piglet." [[The two then went home, ate dinner, and went to bed.|That night...]]

<<if $helpingPiglet>><img src = Images/Beehive.gif /> <</if>><<if !$metQueen>>Without a moment's hesitation, Pooh began climbing up the tree. As he approached the beehive, the buzzing of the bees grew louder and louder. He put one paw inside the hive, and before he could grab even a drop of honey, the bees began attacking him. <<if !$helpingPiglet>>Pooh tried to shovel as much honey into his mouth as he could, but the force of the bees pushing him out of the hive, combined with the pain of being repeatedly stung caused him to lose his grip, and [[he fell back down to the ground|City Park]]. <<else>>Pooh tried to reason with the bees, but it was hard for him to focus when he was being repeatedly stung by them. "I'm sorry, I - Ow! - should have asked - Ow! - first. We need some honey for a Heffalump trap!" "That's a lie! That's a lie, and we know it!"<<set $metQueen to true>> Pooh looked up, and saw the queen bee climbing on the ceiling, tying a piece of string to a paperclip. "If we let you into our hive, you'll eat all of our honey!" she accused. "I swear, I'm not here to eat your honey. My friend Piglet and I just need it to use in our heffalump trap. After all, no one in the Wood could resist your honey!" "Lies, lies, lies! There are no heffalumps around here!" "But if there is, how can you be so sure that the heffalump won't climb up this tree and take your honey? Heffalumps are much bigger and scarier than bears, you know." "Don't be silly! Heffalumps can't climb trees!" "Really? Have you seen one before?" The queen bee hesitated. "No, but I've heard about them from other queen bees. Have YOU seen a heffalump?" "Of course I have," Pooh bluffed. "So I argue you can trust me when I say that your honey will be in greater danger if you don't help us with our trap." The queen bee said nothing as she stood in thought. Finally, she held her arm straight up (or perhaps more accurately, straight down), and the other bees ceased attacking Pooh. "Thank you," said Pooh. "Don't thank me yet," said the queen. "I'll let you take some honey for your heffalump trap, but you must give me something first." "That seems fair," said Pooh. "What do you want?" "A flower," the queen answered. "Specifically, a lily. I've heard that they're a very beautiful flower, but I don't know where to find them." <<if $hasLily>>"You mean like this?" Pooh said as he presented the flower he took from Christopher Robin's garden. "Yes! That's it!" The queen bee descended from the ceiling of the hive, and, with the help of some other bees, happily plucked the flower from Pooh's grasp. "This will look lovely in my collection," she said as she buzzed away, deep into the hive. "Help yourself, bear. But don't take too much. And don't you DARE touch it with your filthy bare hands! Pun not intended." <<set $queenHasLily = true>> <<if !$hasPot>>As soon as the queen was out of sight, Pooh reached in to grab a handful of honey, and immediately recieved a handful of beestings. "Ow!" said Pooh. "Alright, I'll come back with a honey pot." He pulled himself out of the hive, and then [[climbed all the way back down the tree|City Park]]. <<else>>Pooh pulled out his honeypot, and, careful not to upset the bees, he used it to scoop up some honey.<<set $honey = 3>> He then carefully [[climbed back down the tree|City Park]]. <</if>><<else>>"Me neither," said Pooh. "Well, then you'd better start looking," ordered the queen. "Otherwise, no honey for you." She gave a wave, and every single bee in the hive grabbed on to Pooh, pulled him out of the hive, and then let him go, causing the bear to fall [[all the way back down to the ground|City Park]]. <</if>><</if>><<else>>Pooh carefully climbed up the tree. <<if !$queenHasLily>>When he reached the beehive, he was stopped by the bees and their queen. "Have you brought me the lily that I requested?" she asked as bent her paperclip into the shape of a hook. <<if !$hasLily>>"Well, no-" Pooh began, before the queen ordered the bees to attack him. In his haste to get away, Pooh lost his grip, and [[fell all the way back down to the ground|City Park]]. Fortunately, the bees did not pursue Pooh once he had fallen. <<else>>"Yes, I do!" Pooh said as he proudly presented the flower he took from Christopher Robin's garden. "Ah, it's as beautiful as I imagined!" The queen flew down, and, with the help of some other bees, happily plucked the flower from Pooh's grasp. "This will look lovely in my collection," she said as she buzzed away, deep into the hive. "Help yourself to our honey, bear. But don't take too much. And don't you DARE touch it with your filthy bare hands! Pun not intended." <<set $queenHasLily = true>> <<if !$hasPot>>As soon as the queen was out of sight, Pooh reached in to grab a handful of honey, and immediately received a handful of beestings.

"Any more, and we'll sting you!" "Don't worry, I won't take too much," Pooh said as he scooped some honey into his pot.<</if>> [[He climbed back down.|City Park]]<</if>><</if>>

Late that night, Piglet tossed and turned in his sleep. He kept thinking of seeing the terrifying heffalump, lurking within the darkness of the subway. He feared that the trap wouldn't work. A net and a tripwire? That certainly would have worked for a bear like Pooh, but for all he knew, heffalumps were much stronger than bears, and far more clever. Eventually, Piglet decided that all this lying in bed and worrying wasn't getting him any sleep, so he quickly got out of bed, grabbed his work helmet, and ran all the way down to street to [[check the trap|subway night]].

There was a stairway that lead up the side of [[Pooh Tower|Pooh Tower night]], and a doorway into <<linkappend "Piglet Tower">> Piglet briefly considered running back home, and cowering under the safety of his blankets until the night was over. But he couldn't bare the thought of the heffalump escaping the subway and coming after his friends.<</linkappend>> The <<linkappend "subway entrance">><<replace "#notTheSub">> Piglet took one step into the subway, heard the heffalump moan, and then took ten steps back. He had absolutely no intention of going down there again. Not alone, at least.<</replace>><</linkappend>> could be seen next to the brass sign that read, "REMNANTS OF THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD - [[CITY PARK|City Park night]] PROTECTED BY LAW". In the distance, Piglet could spot the Burger Barn sign that stood on top of [[Christopher Robin's hideout night]]. Much further away was [[Rabbit's|Rabbit yard night]] airborne wind turbine, floating in the sky.

Piglet timidly stepped into the subway, the lamp on his work helmet illuminating only a small circle within the ever-present darkness. He heard something grunt and moan. Then, the heffalump tumbled out from behind the corner, wrapped in Rabbit's net. It was more terrifying than Piglet had imagined - its head was shaped like a cylindrical block, and it had no face. Piglet didn't think to get a better look at the heffalump before he screamed and ran out of the subway. When he turned back, he was relieved to see that the heffalump hadn't chased after him. "I don't think our trap worked, Pooh," Piglet said, wishing that his friend was here. "I need some help in order to catch that Heffalump! [[But who could I ask for help this late at night?|street night]]"

<img src = Images/PoohYardNight.png /> Piglet ran up the fire escape for Pooh Tower, and didn't stop until he spotted the familiar "SANDERZ" sign hung above Pooh's front door. Once he caught his breath, he slammed against the door as hard as his little piglet-sized body could. "Pooh, wake up!" Piglet cried. "There's a heffalump in the subway! The trap didn't work!" Pooh did not answer. "Pooh? Are you there?" <img src = Images/PoohHouseNight.png /> Piglet opened the door, and found Pooh's bed completely void of a sleeping bear. In fact, Pooh was nowhere to be found. "Oh dear," said Piglet. "I hope the heffalump didn't get you already..." Piglet nervously [[climbed back down to the street|street night]], frequently looking back to see if he was being followed.

<img src = Images/BeehiveNight.gif /> Piglet entered the city park, and spotted the beehive midway up the biggest tree. He climbed up to the hive, and was greeted by a swarm of bees, including the queen. "We recognize you," she said. "You're friends with that bear who kept stealing our honey. You're not here for more, are you? We already gave up plenty for that heffalump trap." "Actually, I need your help," Piglet explained. "I saw the heffalump in the subway, and the trap didn't work like we thought. So I need someone to help me capture it--" "Nope," said the queen. "Out of the question. Sorry, but I've heard many nasty things about heffalumps. If any of them are true, I won't risk any of my bees to fight it." "I understand," said Piglet. "I'll take my leave now." Just before Piglet began to [[climb back down|street night]], he asked, "By the way, do you know who 'Law' is?" "No, why do you ask?" the queen replied. "There was a sign that said that the city park was protected by Law. I was wondering if you knew him, since you live in this tree." "Oh, THAT Law," said the queen. "I think he was one of the old city people. He might have disappeared along with the rest of them, so that sign may no longer be correct." "I see," said Piglet. "Thanks anyway."

Piglet ran all the way to Christopher Robin's hideout, and knocked on the door like his life depended on it. "Christopher Robin!? Are you there!? Please! I need your help!" "I'm right here. What's wrong, Piglet?" Piglet turned to see that Christopher Robin was standing right behind him, carrying his backpack full of tools and things that he had scavenged from the city. "Christopher Robin! There's a heffalump in the subway, just like you said! Pooh and I tried to catch it, but the trap didn't work, and now I'm afraid that it will come after us, and--" Christopher Robin knelt down and put a hand on Piglet's shoulder. "Calm down. Is the heffalump still in the subway?" "I think so," said Piglet. "It didn't follow me." "Okay," said Christopher Robin. "I have my gun. [[Let's go and catch that heffalump together.]] Just show me where it is."

<img src = Images/RabbitYardNight.png /> Piglet hiked all the way to Rabbit's hill outside of the city. When he reached the fence, Piglet wasted no time hopping into the phone booth and dialing Rabbit's number, hoping he'd be awake. "Hello?" said a tired Rabbit through the phone. "Who's there?" "It's me, Piglet! I need your help! Pooh and I set up our heffalump trap, and--" "Again with that heffalump nonsense? It's too early in the morning for this." "Rabbit, wait--!" Rabbit promptly hung up the phone. Unsure what else to do, [[Piglet walked all the way back to the city|street night]].

Piglet guided Christopher Robin into the subway, to where they had set up the trap. They found the heffalump sitting out in the open, still struggling to escape the net, and attempting to detach its cylindrical head from its body. "There it is!" cried Piglet. "That's the heffalump!" "That's not a heffalump," said Christopher Robin. "That's Pooh with his head stuck in a honeypot!" He holstered his gun, helped Pooh out of the net, and pulled the honeypot off of his head. "Pooh!" said Piglet. "What were you doing in our heffalump trap!?" "Well, you see," Pooh explained. "I had a nightmare that the heffalumps were stealing my honey, then I woke up with the midnight rumblies. So I went to get some honey from my pantry. But there wasn't any honey left. Then I remembered that we put a honeypot in our heffalump trap, and I thought no one would mind if I took just a lick or two of honey..." Christopher Robin hugged him. "You silly old bear," he said. "Honey's always on your mind, isn't it?" "So," Piglet said, "does this mean that there is no Heffalump?" "But Christopher Robin said that he saw one in the subway!" Pooh argued. "I did see a Heffalump," Christopher Robin confirmed. "But they might not be here anymore. And even if they were, I don't think they would like to be lured into traps with honey." "But what do we do if we spot a heffalump in the city again?" Piglet asked. "It may be best to leave it alone," said Christopher Robin. "Heffalumps are solitary creatures, after all. They'll show themselves when they are ready to." "In that case," said Pooh, "[[I suggest we leave.]]"

And so, the three of them left the subway, and went home. It wasn't until noon the next day that Pooh remembered that they had left his honeypot and Rabbit's net in the subway. But when he and Piglet went down to get them, they could only find the net. The honeypot was nowhere to be found. - THE END - Thank you for playing!
