Cool story about checking on your friends to see if they are ok
Pooh and Piglet realized they hadn’t seen Eeyore in a few days, so they put on their hats and coats and made their way across the Hundred Acre Wood to visit him.
When they arrived, they found Eeyore at home.
“Hello, Eeyore,” said Pooh.
“Hello, Pooh. Hello, Piglet,” Eeyore replied in a gloomy voice.
“We just wanted to check on you,” said Piglet. “We hadn’t heard from you, so we thought we’d make sure you were okay.”
Eeyore was quiet for a moment before finally responding. “Am I okay? Well, I don’t really know. Are any of us truly okay? All I can tell you, Pooh and Piglet, is that right now, I feel rather sad and lonely, and not much fun to be around. That’s why I haven’t reached out. You wouldn’t want to spend time with someone who’s sad, alone, and not much fun, would you?”
Pooh looked at Piglet, and Piglet looked at Pooh. Without saying a word, they each sat down beside Eeyore, one on each side.
Eeyore looked at them, surprised. “What are you doing?”
“We’re sitting here with you,” Pooh said. “Because we’re your friends. True friends don’t mind if you’re sad, or alone, or not much fun. True friends are here for you anyway. And so, here we are.”
“Oh,” said Eeyore softly. “Oh.” And the three of them sat in silence. As Pooh and Piglet quietly stayed by his side, Eeyore began to feel just a tiny bit better.
Because Pooh and Piglet were there. No more, no less.
