Letter: Did you lose your Winnie the Pooh?

It's being well cared for, but wants to go home

Icon viewers: 
Note: The Icon will send all responses to this to the caretakes of Winnie.

I'm a poor, lost Winnie the Pooh.

I woke up Saturday evening to find myself wet and alone in Buckeye Park. It was just me and a smelly old pair of sandals... I have no recollection of what happened... next time, I'm calling it quits after the second jar of honey.

Suddenly I heard footsteps coming towards me. I heard two little girls talking. Then I found myself being lifted into the air by little hands, and gently placed in a bicycle basket.
