"Say, Pooh, why aren't YOU busy?" I said.
"Because it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"Yes, but---"
"Why ruin it?" he said.
"But you could be doing something Important," I said.
"I am," said Pooh.
"Oh? Doing what?"
"Listening," he said.
"Listening to what?"
"To the birds. And that squirrel over there."
"What are they saying?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.
"But you knew that already," I said.
"Yes, but it's always good to hear that somebody else
thinks so, too," he replied.
"Well, you could be spending your time getting Educated by
listening to the Radio, instead," I said.
"That thing?"
"Certainly. How else will you know what's going on in the
world?" I said.
"By going outside," said Pooh.
"Er...well..." (Click) "Now just listen to this, Pooh."
"...thirty thousand people were killed today when five
jumbo airliners collided over downtown Los Angeles...," the
Radio announced.
"What does THAT tell you about the world?" asked Pooh.
"Hmmm. You're right." (Click)
"What are the birds saying now?" I asked.
"That it's a nice day," said Pooh.
