[Darby] Piglet's nutty problem.
[barks]
- [pants]
- [giggles]
Hi! It was really
windy last night
and all these leaves
fell off the trees.
Perfect for jumping in!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Even perfecter
for bouncing in!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo!
Or sitting comfortably in,
while enjoying a smackerel.
- Mmm.
- [Sleuth siren blows]
- [barks]
- Right, Buster.
That siren means somebody
needs the Super Sleuths!
Ready to help us
solve a case?
Time to slap my cap!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Anytime.
Anyplace.
The Super Sleuths
[all] Are on the case!
The Finder Flag
is telling us
to find ourselves
at Piglet's house.
- Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
- Whoo-hoo!
Thank you for coming,
Super Sleuths.
I've lost something
very special to me.
What, Piglet?
A haycorn.
Uh, yeah, but, Pigster?
You got all kinds
of haycornies.
Yeah, but not like
the one I lost.
It was a gift from
my dear friend Pooh.
Do you know where
you might have lost
your haycorn, Piglet?
Yes, I know exactly where.
I'll show you.
It's right here!
Somewhere.
I dropped it
this morning,
while I was gathering
some fresh haycorns.
Whoa.
I guess all that
wind last night
blew all these haycorns
off the trees.
There's got to be hundreds
of them on the ground.
And one of them
is my special haycorn.
Whew.
Talk about finding
a needle in a haycorn-y stack!
[laughs then sighs]
The first thing we need to do
is to ask questions.
Piglet, is there
anything that makes your
lost haycorn different
from these other haycorns?
Certainly. It was
given to me by Pooh.
Uh, what I mean is:
is there anything special
about the way it looks?
Well, my special haycorn
is larger than most.
When I hold it,
it's just a little
bigger than my hand.
That's a great clue, Piglet!
The size of the haycorn will be
a big help in finding it.
The first thing
we need to do
is take all these haycorns
and sort out the smaller ones.
Prezactekly.
How do we do that,
Darbuddy?
Well, I've got an idea.
But we're going to need
some old baskets
and some shovels.
Good thing Rabbit
was going to toss out
these baskets
because we're going
to need to make a hole
in one of them.
- Oh.
- Piglet, would you
put your hand here?
Oh, uh yes.
Um, I'm not exactly certain
what our plan is, Darby.
Piglet said his
special haycorn
is a little bigger
than his hand,
so with this basket,
we can sort out
all the haycorns
that are smaller
than his hand.
Perfect!
Now we just need
a way to cut a hole
in the basket
the size of the
outline I just drew.
Ah, chomp out a hole,
you say?
[chuckles] No problem.
Thanks, Beaver!
See that? When we
shake the basket,
all the haycorns smaller than
Piglet's hand fall through.
But the big ones
stay behind.
Oh, yes.
And then Piglet
should be able to find
his special haycorn
among the big ones
left in the basket.
Nutting to it!
Now we'll dump out
the big ones over here.
And do it again,
until we've sorted
all the big ones out.
[humming]
Oh, yeah.
Time to shake, shake, shake ♪
Shake, shake, shake ♪
Shake it all around ♪
When you shake
the basket up ♪
The little nuts fall down ♪♪
Oh, bother.
Even after sorting out
all the smaller haycorns,
there are still so many
big ones remaining.
Yeah, way too many
for Pigaletto
to be able to pick out
his specialest one.
Time to ask
more questions!
Well, we got
some more questions
about your missing nut,
Piglet Wiglet.
Oh, certainly.
I could talk about it
all day, I miss it so.
What would you
like to know?
What about its shape?
Well, my special haycorn
is almost perfectly round.
Like this tomato.
Or this ball.
[Darby laughs]
Sorry, Buster,
but we don't have time
to play fetch right now.
[whines]
OK Sleuths,
back to the haycorns.
And this time we
have to separate out
all the round ones!
And I know just
what we can use!
Thanks for letting us
use your machine, Rabbit.
It'll make sorting out
the haycorns much easier.
Oh, you're perfectly welcome.
It is quite
an ingenious invention,
if I do say so myself.
And he very often does.
OK, so we're going
to pull out all the big
haycorns that are round.
And all the ones
that aren't round will
roll off into that basket!
Help us spot
all the round ones, OK?
There's a round one!
Hmm, not round,
very round,
all-a-round.
Roundish, not roundish.
Ooh, not roundish at all,
roundish
Well, we sorted
all the round ones
into this basket.
Thanks for helping!
Hmm, something tells me there's
still way too many haycornies
for Pigly-boy to be able
to find his special one.
You're right, Tigger.
We need to think
of another question
we can ask Piglet
about his haycorn.
Ask a question
give it a try ♪
Who, what, where,
when, how, or why ♪
Get an answer
try it now ♪
Who, what, where,
when, why, or how ♪
Who, what, where,
when, why, or how ♪♪
Well, we've asked Piglet
about the size of his haycorn
and its shape,
so perhaps now
we could ask
what is the color
of his haycorn?
Well, I suppose it's
a bit like the color
of that chair.
No wait.
Oh, perhaps it's more
like that tablecloth or
- Uh, maybe.
- [Eeyore hums]
Oh! I know!
My haycorn is very much like
the color of Eeyore's tail!
Glad to know my tail's
good for something.
Well, then hold still,
donkey-boy,
and let us dare to compare
to your derrière.
Help us look for haycorns
that match the color
of Eeyore's tail!
This one?
No, I don't
think so either.
This one?
Nope. This one?
Ah, definitely.
Tailish color? No.
Tailish color? Nope.
Tailish color
[gasps] Oh, yes!
[Darby] OK, we've sorted out
all the haycorns
that are the right color,
and we've only got
about six left!
Piglet is certain to know
his very special haycorn now!
Hmm.
Oh, my.
It's still very
difficult to tell
which one is my
Pooh Bear haycorn.
They all look
so very the same.
But now that
I think about it,
I've snuggled my haycorn
so many times.
I should certainly know it
by the way it feels
against my cheek.
Oh! That's a great way to figure
out which one is yours, Piglet!
Mm-mmm.
[grunts] No.
[grunts]
Oh, I found it!
Oh, this is definitely
my haycorn!
Oh, you found it!
Oh, how wonderful!
Well, then I guess
this mystery is history.
Haycorn!
Woodpecker wait!
[gulps] Thanks!
[screams] My very
special haycorn.
Gone. Forever. [sighs]
Oh, hey, Pigobuddy,
you got a bunch of others
that look just like it.
Sort of.
[sighs]
But it's not just
the way it looks.
My haycorn was special
because it was a gift
from my best friend Pooh.
[gasps] Pooh, I have an idea.
[whispers] Here's what
we're gonna do. You ready?
Hmm. [hums]
No.
Hmm. [hums]
Hmm.
Hello, Piglet.
[sighs]
I was hoping perhaps
you would enjoy this haycorn
as a gift
from me to you.
Really? Uh, for me?
Oh, it is a rather
wonderful looking
haycorn, Pooh.
And, oh,
so very huggable.
Yes, I thought so, too.
And that is exactly why
I chose it for you.
Oh, thank you, Pooh.
I believe I love
this new haycorn
as much as the one
that I lost!
[chuckles]
I'm so very pleased.
[Roo] Missing Lumpy.
[hums]
[barks]
Hi! My friends and I
are going to the bridge
to play a game
of Pooh Sticks!
- [hums] Hoo-hoo-hoo.
- [Darby laughs]
Oh, look.
It's our dear
little friend, Roo.
[sighs]
[Tigger] Hey there,
bouncing buddy!
You want to come
Pooh Stickin' with us?
No, thanks.
Oh, busy playing
Pooh-Rates, huh?
Off on the high seas,
buckling swash,
looking for
treasured berries.
Yeah. Having a great time.
Aw, who am I kidding?
It's just no fun
without Lumpy.
So, where is Lumpy?
He went to visit his Auntie
all the way on the other side
of Heffalump Hollow.
Lumpy's going to be gone
a whole week!
Well, a week's not such
a long time, Roo.
Are you kidding?
It's like forever!
I really,
really miss him.
[whines]
Perhaps there is someone or,
to be more exact,
a group of someones
who could help you
with your problem.
And they go by
the name of us!
Us as in
the Super Sleuths!
Time to change-a-tize
into Sleuth disguise!
While I slap my cap!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Oh, oh, oh.
Anytime.
Anyplace.
The Super Sleuths
[all] Are on the case!
[Buster barks]
- Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
- Whoo-hoo.
Don't you worry Roo-boy,
us Sleuther-types
are here to solverate
your problem.
Really? You're going
to bring Lumpy back home?
Certainly! [chuckles]
Aren't we?
Well, no, Pooh.
We can't really do that.
But maybe there's a way
we can sort of take Lumpy's
place until he gets back.
Not unless you
can grow a trunk.
[laughs] Great idea!
So what do you think?
Lumpyish enough
for you or what?
[giggles] You guys
aren't purple,
but you do look
a little like Lumpy.
And we can
talk like him, too!
[British accent]
Hello, Roo. How are you?
[British accent]
Care for some
Rumpledoodle honey?
[British accent]
Brilliant, Roo!
Positootly brilliant,
old bean!
That's great! What other Lumpy
stuff are you going to do next?
- Uh
- Well
- We hadn't really
Sleuth huddle!
[whispers indistinctly]
Be right back, Roo-ster!
[all whispering]
And now, presentifying
a Heffalump-ish concerto
featuring the song-type
stylings of Lumpy.
And a one,
and a
[all trumpeting]
That sounds
exactly like Lumpy!
[sighs]
Are you feeling
sad again, Roo?
Quick, another Heffa-ditty!
And a one, and a two
No, that's OK.
[sighs]
Thanks for trying,
Super Sleuths.
But nothing can
take the place of
the real Lumpy
and all the fun
we always have together.
Fun! That's it!
We can play one
of the games that you
like to play with Lumpy.
Really? OK! Yeah!
We can play HeffaPunt!
Come on!
OK, so the idea
is to kick the ball
past everybody else.
[grunts]
If you hit the tree,
it's one point.
Unless it bounces first,
then it's two points.
Right. Got it. I'm first!
Sure, Tigger!
Hoo-hoo! How many
points is that Roo-boy?
That's no points.
What?
But, I seem to recall
you saying
if it hits a tree
Yeah, but if it
hits a second tree,
you lose 20 points,
unless you turn in a circle
and say "HeffaPunt" three times
and touch your toes,
then it's 100 points.
[slight chuckles]
OK, OK. Do over!
All right then, we turn
in a circle three times.
HeffaPunt,
HeffaPunt,
HeffaPunt.
and now touch my toe-sies.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo,
I got a hundredy points!
No, you didn't.
If you take a do over,
you got to hop
on one foot and say:
Heffel-Meffel-Bing-
Bang-Beffel-Meffel.
Whoa, these rules are
kind of confusing, Roo.
Yes, they make my brain
feel rather
fuzzy.
Sorry. I'm just used
to playing with Lumpy.
He just sort of
knows all the rules.
Aw, forget it.
HeffaPunt was a bad idea.
Why'd Lumpy have to go away?
Poor little guy.
So what do we do now?
Perhaps we should do
what we do
when we don't know
what to do.
Think!
Now's the time
to think, think, think ♪
When you have a problem
think, think, think ♪
Look at every clue
like the Super Sleuths do ♪
And just think,
think, think ♪♪
OK, we tried
lots of things,
but there's just no way
we'll ever be able
to take Lumpy's place.
Yeah. Roo-boy misses
that purplish pal
of his way too much.
Perhaps if Roo
drew a picture of Lumpy,
it would help him
miss Lumpy a bit less?
Hey, that's a great idea!
What did you draw, Roo?
It's the time me and Lump
were playing Pooh Kicks
and we both fell
into a big puddle of mud.
[chuckles] Boy, did we
have fun that day.
Remember, Lumpy?
You can't answer.
You're just a picture.
Now I miss Lumpy
even more.
There's so much stuff
I want to tell him.
Maybe there's a way
that you can!
You can write Lumpy
a letter!
A letter?
Um, but I'm just
learning to write.
I'll need help.
- [Porcupine giggles]
- [gasps]
Well, there is one of
the bestest writer-ers
in the whole
Hundred-y Acreages!
Oh, help you
write a letter?
Why certainly.
All I need is
a bottle of ink
and some paper.
But Porcupine,
when writing a letter,
doesn't one need
something to write with?
Oh, I always carry
around a quill pen or two.
[all laugh]
OK, now, just tell me
what you want to say, Roo,
and I'll write it down.
OK. Hi, Lumpy.
I really miss
having you around.
I was thinking
how if you were here,
we'd probably be playing
HeffaPunt right now.
"HeffaPunt right now."
And then later we'd set sail for
some cool Pooh-Rate adventure!
Please write back to me.
Your pal, Roo.
"Your pal, Roo."
Oh, what a lovely
letter, Roo.
- I'll mail it right away.
- Great!
Lumpy should get it
in a few days.
A few days?
But that's so long!
And if Lump writes back,
it'll take another few days
to get his letter.
He'll practically
be home by then!
Thanks, anyway.
But never mind about
mailing the letter.
[gasps] The paper cup phone
me and Lumpy use
when we play fort.
[sighs]
Sure wish I could
talk to Lump on it now.
[Darby] Maybe you can!
But we're going to need
a whole lot of string.
Did you say string?
Well, by happenstance
I know a certain Tigger
who collects the stuff.
Back in a jiff!
- Whoa.
- [Pooh] Oh, goodness.
- [Roo] Whoa.
- [Pooh] Oh, my.
Viola, my big
ball o' string!
Wow! That's ginormous!
Aw, you should see
my ball of wax.
Now, we just have to get
the other cup to Lumpy
and you'll be able
to talk to each other.
Uh, just a teensy problemo.
How do we get the cup
to the Lumpster?
Seeing as he's way
on the other side
of Heffalump Hollow.
Well, we could try
driving there
on our Scooters.
But it might
take hours.
[pecking sounds]
Hey, maybe a certain
woodpecking buddy of ours
can help!
[Darby] OK, Woodpecker,
you should find Lumpy
and his Mom
crossing Heffalump Hollow.
I'm on my way!
See you later.
I sure hope there's enough
string to reach Lumpy.
Hmm, string's running
kind of low. Hoo!
There they are!
[grunts]
Paper-cup call
for Mister Lumpy!
Who's it from?
Somebody who misses you a lot!
Roo! Hello?
Hi, Lump!
How are you?
Brilliant, Roo.
How are you?
I'm good. I kind of miss us
playing together, though.
Me, too.
Nobody plays
HeffaPunt like you.
But I'll be back soon.
Like my mum says,
a week isn't that long.
- And I have loads
to tell you.
- Yeah. Me, too.
And I'll bring back
some RumpleDimple cake
from my auntie.
Great! Well, see
you, Lump. Bye!
Goodbye, Roo!
[sighs]
Are you OK, Roo?
Oh, you're not feeling
sad again, are you?
No, talking with Lumpy
made me feel
a whole lot better.
So, you guys still
want to play Pooh Sticks?
Abso-toodle-y!
- Oh, that would be lovely.
- You bet.
Brilliant!
And this missing
Lumpy mystery
is history!
Race you to the bridge.
[Tigger] Last one there
comes in last.
[Pooh] He's quite right.
[Darby] We found Piglet's
missing haycorn
by asking three
different questions
about it.
First, how big is it?
It's just a little
bigger than my hand.
[Darby] And the second
question we asked was
What about its shape?
[Piglet] It's almost
perfectly round.
Now what is the color
of his haycorn?
Like the color
of Eeyore's tail.
I found it!
[Darby] Asking questions is
what sleuthing is all about.
Good sleuthing, everybody.
We're always there

With so much

The Finder Flag

Thank you for coming,
Super Sleuths.
I've lost something
very special to me.
What, Piglet?
A haycorn.
Uh, yeah, but, Pigster?
You got all kinds
of haycornies.
Yeah, but not like
the one I lost.
It was a gift from
my dear friend Pooh.
Do you know where
you might have lost
your haycorn, Piglet?
Yes, I know exactly where.

Hmm, something tells me there's
still way too many haycornies
for Pigly-boy to be able
to find his special one.
You're right, Tigger.
We need to think
of another question
we can ask Piglet
about his haycorn.

out which one is yours, Piglet!
Mm-mmm.
[grunts] No.
[grunts]
Oh, I found it!
Oh, this is definitely
my haycorn!
Oh, you found it!
Oh, how wonderful!
Well, then I guess
this mystery is history.
Haycorn!
Woodpecker wait!
[gulps] Thanks!
[screams] My very
special haycorn.
Gone. Forever. [sighs]
Oh, hey, Pigobuddy,
you got a bunch of others
that look just like it.
Sort of.
[sighs]
But it's not just
the way it looks.
My haycorn was special
because it was a gift
from my best friend Pooh.
[gasps] Pooh, I have an idea.
[whispers] Here's what
we're gonna do. You ready?
Hmm. [hums]
No.
Hmm. [hums]
Hmm.
Hello, Piglet.
[sighs]
I was hoping perhaps
you would enjoy this haycorn
as a gift
from me to you.
Really? Uh, for me?
Oh, it is a rather
wonderful looking
haycorn, Pooh.
And, oh,
so very huggable.
Yes, I thought so, too.
And that is exactly why
I chose it for you.
Oh, thank you, Pooh.
I believe I love
this new haycorn
as much as the one
that I lost!
[chuckles]
I'm so very pleased.
[Roo] Missing Lumpy.
[hums]
[barks]
Hi! My friends and I
are going to the bridge
to play a game
of Pooh Sticks!
- [hums] Hoo-hoo-hoo.
- [Darby laughs]
Oh, look.
It's our dear
little friend, Roo.
[sighs]
[Tigger] Hey there,
bouncing buddy!
You want to come
Pooh Stickin' with us?
No, thanks.
Oh, busy playing
Pooh-Rates, huh?
Off on the high seas,
buckling swash,
looking for
treasured berries.
Yeah. Having a great time.
Aw, who am I kidding?
It's just no fun
without Lumpy.
So, where is Lumpy?
He went to visit his Auntie
all the way on the other side
of Heffalump Hollow.
Lumpy's going to be gone
a whole week!
Well, a week's not such
a long time, Roo.
Are you kidding?
It's like forever!
I really,
really miss him.
[whines]
Perhaps there is someone or,
to be more exact,
a group of someones
who could help you
with your problem.
And they go by
the name of us!
Us as in
the Super Sleuths!
Time to change-a-tize
into Sleuth disguise!
While I slap my cap!
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
Oh, oh, oh.
Anytime.
Anyplace.
The Super Sleuths
[all] Are on the case!
[Buster barks]
- Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.
- Whoo-hoo.
Don't you worry Roo-boy,
us Sleuther-types
are here to solverate
your problem.
Really? You're going
to bring Lumpy back home?
Certainly! [chuckles]
Aren't we?
Well, no, Pooh.
We can't really do that.
But maybe there's a way
we can sort of take Lumpy's
place until he gets back.
Not unless you
can grow a trunk.
[laughs] Great idea!
So what do you think?
Lumpyish enough
for you or what?
[giggles] You guys
aren't purple,
but you do look
a little like Lumpy.
And we can
talk like him, too!
[British accent]
Hello, Roo. How are you?
[British accent]
Care for some
Rumpledoodle honey?
[British accent]
Brilliant, Roo!
Positootly brilliant,
old bean!
That's great! What other Lumpy
stuff are you going to do next?
- Uh
- Well
- We hadn't really
Sleuth huddle!
[whispers indistinctly]
Be right back, Roo-ster!
[all whispering]
And now, presentifying
a Heffalump-ish concerto
featuring the song-type
stylings of Lumpy.
And a one,
and a
[all trumpeting]
That sounds
exactly like Lumpy!
[sighs]
Are you feeling
sad again, Roo?
Quick, another Heffa-ditty!
And a one, and a two
No, that's OK.
[sighs]
Thanks for trying,
Super Sleuths.
But nothing can
take the place of
the real Lumpy
and all the fun
we always have together.
Fun! That's it!
We can play one
of the games that you
like to play with Lumpy.
Really? OK! Yeah!
We can play HeffaPunt!
Come on!
OK, so the idea
is to kick the ball
past everybody else.
[grunts]
If you hit the tree,
it's one point.
Unless it bounces first,
then it's two points.
Right. Got it. I'm first!
Sure, Tigger!
Hoo-hoo! How many
points is that Roo-boy?
That's no points.
What?
But, I seem to recall
you saying
if it hits a tree
Yeah, but if it
hits a second tree,
you lose 20 points,
unless you turn in a circle
and say "HeffaPunt" three times
and touch your toes,
then it's 100 points.
[slight chuckles]
OK, OK. Do over!
All right then, we turn
in a circle three times.
HeffaPunt,
HeffaPunt,
HeffaPunt.
and now touch my toe-sies.
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo,
I got a hundredy points!
No, you didn't.
If you take a do over,
you got to hop
on one foot and say:
Heffel-Meffel-Bing-
Bang-Beffel-Meffel.
Whoa, these rules are
kind of confusing, Roo.
Yes, they make my brain
feel rather
fuzzy.
Sorry. I'm just used
to playing with Lumpy.
He just sort of
knows all the rules.
Aw, forget it.
HeffaPunt was a bad idea.
Why'd Lumpy have to go away?
Poor little guy.
So what do we do now?
Perhaps we should do
what we do
when we don't know
what to do.
Think!
Now's the time
to think, think, think ♪
When you have a problem
think, think, think ♪
Look at every clue
like the Super Sleuths do ♪
And just think,
think, think ♪♪
OK, we tried
lots of things,
but there's just no way
we'll ever be able
to take Lumpy's place.
Yeah. Roo-boy misses
that purplish pal
of his way too much.
Perhaps if Roo
drew a picture of Lumpy,
it would help him
miss Lumpy a bit less?
Hey, that's a great idea!
What did you draw, Roo?
It's the time me and Lump
were playing Pooh Kicks
and we both fell
into a big puddle of mud.
[chuckles] Boy, did we
have fun that day.
Remember, Lumpy?
You can't answer.
You're just a picture.
Now I miss Lumpy
even more.
There's so much stuff
I want to tell him.
Maybe there's a way
that you can!
You can write Lumpy
a letter!
A letter?
Um, but I'm just
learning to write.
I'll need help.
- [Porcupine giggles]
- [gasps]
Well, there is one of
the bestest writer-ers
in the whole
Hundred-y Acreages!
Oh, help you
write a letter?
Why certainly.
All I need is
a bottle of ink
and some paper.
But Porcupine,
when writing a letter,
doesn't one need
something to write with?
Oh, I always carry
around a quill pen or two.
[all laugh]
OK, now, just tell me
what you want to say, Roo,
and I'll write it down.
OK. Hi, Lumpy.
I really miss
having you around.
I was thinking
how if you were here,
we'd probably be playing
HeffaPunt right now.
"HeffaPunt right now."
And then later we'd set sail for
some cool Pooh-Rate adventure!
Please write back to me.
Your pal, Roo.
"Your pal, Roo."
Oh, what a lovely
letter, Roo.
- I'll mail it right away.
- Great!
Lumpy should get it
in a few days.
A few days?
But that's so long!
And if Lump writes back,
it'll take another few days
to get his letter.
He'll practically
be home by then!
Thanks, anyway.
But never mind about
mailing the letter.
[gasps] The paper cup phone
me and Lumpy use
when we play fort.
[sighs]
Sure wish I could
talk to Lump on it now.
[Darby] Maybe you can!
But we're going to need
a whole lot of string.
Did you say string?
Well, by happenstance
I know a certain Tigger
who collects the stuff.
Back in a jiff!
- Whoa.
- [Pooh] Oh, goodness.
- [Roo] Whoa.
- [Pooh] Oh, my.
Viola, my big
ball o' string!
Wow! That's ginormous!
Aw, you should see
my ball of wax.
Now, we just have to get
the other cup to Lumpy
and you'll be able
to talk to each other.
Uh, just a teensy problemo.
How do we get the cup
to the Lumpster?
Seeing as he's way
on the other side
of Heffalump Hollow.
Well, we could try
driving there
on our Scooters.
But it might
take hours.
[pecking sounds]
Hey, maybe a certain
woodpecking buddy of ours
can help!
[Darby] OK, Woodpecker,
you should find Lumpy
and his Mom
crossing Heffalump Hollow.
I'm on my way!
See you later.
I sure hope there's enough
string to reach Lumpy.
Hmm, string's running
kind of low. Hoo!
There they are!
[grunts]
Paper-cup call
for Mister Lumpy!
Who's it from?
Somebody who misses you a lot!
Roo! Hello?
Hi, Lump!
How are you?
Brilliant, Roo.
How are you?
I'm good. I kind of miss us
playing together, though.
Me, too.
Nobody plays
HeffaPunt like you.
But I'll be back soon.
Like my mum says,
a week isn't that long.
- And I have loads
to tell you.
- Yeah. Me, too.
And I'll bring back
some RumpleDimple cake
from my auntie.
Great! Well, see
you, Lump. Bye!
Goodbye, Roo!
[sighs]
Are you OK, Roo?
Oh, you're not feeling
sad again, are you?
No, talking with Lumpy
made me feel
a whole lot better.
So, you guys still
want to play Pooh Sticks?
Abso-toodle-y!
- Oh, that would be lovely.
- You bet.
Brilliant!
And this missing
Lumpy mystery
is history!
Race you to the bridge.
[Tigger] Last one there
comes in last.
[Pooh] He's quite right.
[Darby] We found Piglet's
missing haycorn
by asking three
different questions
about it.
First, how big is it?
It's just a little
bigger than my hand.
[Darby] And the second
question we asked was
What about its shape?
[Piglet] It's almost
perfectly round.
Now what is the color
of his haycorn?
Like the color
of Eeyore's tail.
I found it!
[Darby] Asking questions is
what sleuthing is all about.
Good sleuthing, everybody.
