Scene 1

Storyteller: It was a lovely spring morning. The weather was nice and warm
outside. Christopher Robin, Winnie the Pooh and Piglet were having breakfast at
Christopher Robin’s house. Three friends always had breakfast all together because
they were true friends and besides Christopher Robin was a generous housemate.

Winnie the Pooh: What a lovely morning is, isn’t it?

Piglet: Yes, Winnie, you are right. What do you think,

Christopher Robin?

Christopher Robin: I think so too. By the way, my

friends, I have to tell you something that you have
never heard.

Winnie the Pooh: What this? What are you talking

about?

Christopher Robin: I have seen a Heffalump today!

Piglet: Really? I saw a Heffalump once too.

Winnie the Pooh: What was it doing?

Piglet: Just jumping along. And have you seen a Heffalump too, Winnie?

Winnie the Pooh (thinking for a while): Of course, I have.

Christopher Robin: But friends, you don’t see them very often.

Winnie the Pooh: Not now.

Piglet: Not at this time of the year.

Storyteller: After that friends talked about everything they wanted until it was time
for Winnie and Piglet to go home. So, they went home through the thick Forest,
singing a merry song. (Song):

1 little, 2 little, 3 little bubbles

4 little, 5 little, 6 little bubbles

 7 little, 8 little, 9 little bubbles

10 little bubbles go pop,pop, pop

Pop those, pop those, pop those bubbles (3 t.)

10 little bubbles go pop, pop, pop

Scene 2

Storyteller: Suddenly Winnie stopped, looked around, being sure that nobody else
was listening.

Piglet: Winnie, dear, why have we stopped? We haven’t come yet.

Winnie the Pooh: My friend, I want to tell you something.

Piglet: What, Winnie?

Winnie the Pooh: I have decided to catch a

Heffalump.

Piglet: To catch a Heffalump!? But how?

Winnie the Pooh: A trap will help me. And it

must be a Cunning Trap. So, you will have to
help me! Will you help me?

Piglet: I will do it, I promise. But how will

you make a trap?

Winnie the Pooh: We will dig.

Piglet: Dig what?

Winnie the Pooh: Dig a trap. When a Heffalump is walking around, he won’t see a
trap before him and he’ll fall into it.

Piglet: Wow, it’s a great idea!

 Scene 3

Storyteller: With these words friends chose the best place for a trap, as they
thought and began to dig. At this time Rabbit, Eeyore and Tiger were walking
through the Forest. They saw Winnie and Piglet digging something.

Rabbit: Oh, hello, friends. What are you doing?

Winnie the Pooh: Nothing.

Tiger: You can do nothing because you are digging something. What are you
digging?

Piglet: Nothing.

Eeyore: I don’t think so. You can’t dig

anything without any reason.

Winnie the Pooh: OK, we are digging a trap.

Tiger: A trap!? What for?

Piglet: We are going to catch a Heffalump.

Rabbit: A Heffalump!? I have never seen it.

What is it like?

Winnie the Pooh: It is like… It’s like…

Piglet: It’s very big, so we are digging a big trap.

Tiger: But how will you catch it?

Winnie the Pooh: I suppose, a Heffalump will be walking around the Forest when
he falls into the trap.

Rabbit: I think, we should put something in the trap. And when a Heffalump sees
it, he will fall into the trap.
Eeyore: Wow! It’s a great idea! But what will we put on the bottom?

Winnie the Pooh: Honey.

Piglet: Honey?!

Winnie the Pooh: Yes, honey. It smells very tasty and I’m sure a Heffalump will
smell it too.

Rabbit: Oh, I’ve understood. When a Heffalump smells the honey, he will want to
taste it and fall into the trap.

Tiger: And when we come in the morning here, we’ll see the Heffalump in the
trap. Hooray!

Storyteller: And so they did. Having finished everything, friends said good night
and everyone went home.

Scene 4

Storyteller: At night Winnie suddenly woke up. He was hungry and wanted to eat
something. He remembered that he had honey in the kitchen.

Winnie the Pooh: Oh, my little jar of honey. Where are you? I’m so hungry and I
want to taste you. How strange! It’s not here. But where is it?

Storyteller: And then the bear remembered that he had left honey in the trap in
order to catch a Heffalump. He took the ladder and went to the trap.

Winnie the Pooh: Oh, hello, my little jar of honey. I’m so glad to see you. I’ll taste
a little.

Storyteller: And the bear tasted a little, and then again and again. There was a little
left at the very bottom of the jar, and he pushed his head right in, and began to lick.

Scene 5
Storyteller: In the morning Piglet,Eeyore, Tiger and Rabbit met near the big oak-
tree. They were surprised not seeing Winnie there.

Piglet: Morning, friends. How are you? Haven’t you seen Winnie today?

Tiger: Hello, Piglet. No, I haven’t.

Rabbit: Maybe, he is still sleeping.

Eeyore: Maybe, you are right, Rabbit. What should we do?

Rabbit: I think, we should go to the trap.

Tiger: OK, let’s go.

Piglet: If we see a Heffalump, what will we do?

Tiger: I think, we should go up very quietly, peep very cautiously into the trap and
see if there is a Heffalump there. Do you agree?

Eeyore: Of course, let’s go.

Storyteller: So off they went. At first

they thought that there wouldn’t be a
Heffalump in the trap, and then they
thought that there would, and as they
got nearer they were sure that there
would.

Piglet: Stop, friends. Do you hear that?

Rabbit: It seems to me that there is somebody in the trap.

Tiger: I think so too because I can hear some noise. Do you hear it?

Eeyore: Yes, I do.

Rabbit: Let’s creep to the side of the trap and look in.
Storyteller: And all the time Winnie had been trying to get the honey jar off his
head. The more he shook it, the more tightly it stuck. So at last he lifted up his
head, jar and all, and made a loud roaring noise… and it was at that moment that
friends looked down.

Eeyore: Help!

Rabbit: Help!

Tiger: Help! A Heffalump!

Piglet: A horrible Heffalump!

Storyteller: And they didn’t stop crying and scampering until they got to
Christopher Robin’s house.

Christopher Robin: What’s happened? Why are you crying?

Piglet: Heff… a Heff…

Rabbit: A Heff… a Heff…

Tiger: A Heffalump!

Christopher Robin: Where?

Eeyore: Up there!

Christopher Robin: What did it look like?

Rabbit: It had the biggest head you ever saw.

Tiger: And it’s roaring in a very terrible noise.

Christopher Robin: Well, I’ll go and look at it. Come on.

Storyteller: When they came up to the trap and Christopher Robin looked into it,
he began to laugh.

Piglet: Why are you laughing, Christopher Robin? Aren’t you scared?
Christopher Robin: No, my dear friends, look!

Storyteller: And with these wordsChristopher Robin took the jar and pushed it and
out came Winnie’s head again.

Rabbit: It’s not a Heffalump!

Tiger: It’s Winnie!

Piglet: We were very scared thinking that you were a Heffalump!

Christopher Robin: No, my friends, he is not a Heffalump. He is the bear who likes
honey.

Winnie the Pooh: I’m sorry, friends. I didn’t want to scary you.

Christopher Robin: Don’t be, all is well that ends well!

Storyteller: And laughing, all friends went to Christopher Robin’s house to have
breakfast together. Everyone was happy. But it’s not the end of our story about the
funny Bear who liked honey.
