Section 3
I also read/The House at Pooh
Corner.//
The book has heartwarming messages,/too.//
The last episode is especially moving.//
Christopher tells Pooh/that he cannot see Pooh for a while/because he has to start school.//
Christopher says,/“Pooh,/promise you won’t forget
about me,/ever .//
Not even when I’m a hundred.”//
Pooh asks,/“How old will I be then?”//
Christopher answers,/“Ninety-nine.”//
Then/Pooh says,/“I promise.”//
This interaction shows/that
real friendships last/for a long
time.//
I had not noticed these messages/until I read the books again.//
Both of the books/have meaningful messages for us,/high school
students.//
