Some information about PIGLET
Description: Small, pinkish and green. Prefers
a light covering of dirt. Sometimes wears a scarf in cold or windy weather. Somewhat larger than Roo, but small enough to fit
into Kanga's pocket (or Christopher Robin's).
General Traits: Timid. Tends to mistake
fear for lack of courage. When in a pinch, however, can overcome his fears admirably. Compassionate, just, generous
(especially in donating his house to Owl after the latter's house blows down in a windstorm). Not known for his
brains, but knows his strengths and weaknesses well and perceives those of others clearly.
Special Traits: Pooh's best friend. Lives "in a very grand house in the middle
of a beech tree...in the middle of the (Forest)" (at least until Owl's House blows down). After being bathed
by Kanga, was mistaken by Christopher Robin as Pootel ("Henry Pootel for short"), a relative of Pooh's.
Proud of his own ancestry -- in particular, of Trespassers W(illiam), his grandfather (who had two names in case
he lost one). Speech gets confused when he is Unsettled. Can write a competent Message to place in a Bottle (in
hopes that the Author might be Rescued).
Famous lines: "It is hard to be
brave when you're only a Very Small Animal." "Holl, Holl, a Hoffable Hellerump!" "A trap for
ho-ho's. I've just made it, and I'm waiting for the ho-ho to come-come." |
