Christopher Robin's Short Story
"What do you want to do today, Christopher Robin?" I asked my son.
"We have not been to the zoo in a long time, so can we go see Pooh and Winnie?" he answered.
"Sure," I replied. Ever since my son was little he loved going to the zoo; he loved seeing all of the different kinds of animals. He had two favorite animals, a swan named Pooh and a bear named Winnie. Whenever we went to the zoo I let him go up to Winnie and feed her, because I knew how much he loved her.

"Excellent," he exclaimed, "I take it your husband came around?"
