“Today was a difficult day,” said Pooh. There was a pause. “Do you want to talk about it?” asked

Piglet. “No,” said Pooh after a bit. “No, I don’t think I do.” “That’s okay,” said Piglet, and he came

and sat beside his friend. “What are you doing?” asked Pooh. “Nothing, really,” said Piglet.

“Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don’t feel like talking about

it on my difficult days either.” “But goodness,” continued Piglet, “difficult days are so much easier

when you know you’ve got someone there for you. And I’ll always be here for you, Pooh.”

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his difficult day,

while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs,

he thought that his best friend had never been more right.
