PREFACE

Exactly forty years ago - as one old book says, “in the middle of life’s road” (I was then just forty years old, and now, as you can easily calculate, twice as old) - I met Winnie the Pooh.

Winnie the Pooh was not yet called Winnie the Pooh. His name was "Winnie-tze-poo." And he didn’t know a word of Russian - after all, he and his friends lived all their lives in the Enchanted Forest in England. Writer A.A. Milne, who wrote two whole books about their lives and adventures, also spoke only English.

I read these books and immediately fell in love with Pooh and everyone else so much that I really wanted to introduce them to you guys.

But since they all (you guessed it?) could only speak English, which is a very, very difficult language - especially for those who don't know it - I had to do something.

I had to first teach Winnie the Pooh and his friends to speak Russian, I had to give them - Winnie the Pooh and All-All-All - new names; I had to help Pooh compose Noisemakers, Puffers, Screamers and even Screamers and who knows what else...

I assure you, doing all this was not so easy, although it was very pleasant! But I really wanted you guys to love Pooh and All-All-All like family.

Well, now I can say - without any exaggeration! - that my hopes were justified. Over the years, millions and millions of children in our country (and adults, especially those who are smarter) have become friends with Winnie the Pooh (and All-All-All). And Winnie the Pooh himself has become a very, very Russian bear cub, and some even believe that he speaks Russian better than English. I'm not to judge.

Believe it or not, at one time he even taught our children the RUSSIAN language on the radio! There was such a program. Maybe your elders remember it.

And how Pooh and I have become close over the years - I can’t tell in a fairy tale, I can’t even describe with a pen!

The thing is that we loved Pooh (and All-All-All, of course!) so much that they had to act in films, and perform on stage, and play on the stages of theaters - both simple and puppet theaters - in various plays and even sing in opera - at the Moscow Musical Theater for Children.

And our hardworking little bear had to compose Noisemakers again and again, because the stories were new, which means new songs were needed.

I must admit that this (as you probably guess) could not have happened without my participation. I had to write scripts for films, plays for theaters, and even a libretto for the opera “Winnie the Pooh Again.” And of course, Pooh composed all the new Noisemakers, Puffers and Screamers under my leadership. In a word, we have not parted all these years, and, in the end, I began to consider Pooh the bear as my adopted son, and he as his second father...

Books about Winnie the Pooh have been published many, many times over these many years. They were read by your grandparents, fathers and mothers, older brothers and sisters. But there has never been such a publication as the one you are holding in your hands.

Firstly, there are all twenty true stories here (and not eighteen, as was before).

Secondly, Pooh and his friends were placed in two whole books, and not in one. Now they are truly spacious - there was enough space for a lot of other things. Take a look at the Applications - and make sure that there is not only Everything-All-Everything, but also Everything-Everything-Everything!

And finally, I'm sure you'll enjoy the drawings. Especially those who saw real cartoons about Pooh - after all, Pooh and his friends were drawn here by the same wonderful artist - E.V. Nazarov.

(Why am I talking about real cartoons? Unfortunately, nowadays there are many fakes. Winnie the Pooh is also faked. On television they often show a Pooh that can only be called a fake. Thank God, it’s easy to distinguish him from the real one: he’s completely different, and most importantly, he doesn’t compose or sing any Noisemakers. What kind of Winnie the Pooh is this?!)

Well, perhaps we can end here - I think I said Everything, Everything, Everything I wanted to say, and even more!

I leave you with Winnie the Pooh and his friends.

Your old friend

CHAPTER FIRST,
in which we meet Winnie the Pooh and some bees

Well, here is Winnie the Pooh.

As you can see, he goes down the stairs after his friend Christopher Robin, head down, counting the steps with the back of his head: boom-boom-boom. He doesn’t yet know any other way to get down the stairs. Sometimes, however, it seems to him that some other way could be found, if only he could stop babbling for a minute and concentrate properly. But alas, he has no time to concentrate.

Be that as it may, he has already come down and is ready to meet you.

Winnie the Pooh. Very nice!

You're probably wondering why his name is so strange, and if you know English, you'll be even more surprised.

This unusual name was given to him by Christopher Robin. I must tell you that Christopher Robin once knew a swan on a pond, whom he called Pooh. It was a very appropriate name for a swan, because if you call a swan loudly: “Poo-hoo!” Pooh!” - and he doesn’t respond, then you can always pretend that you were just pretending to shoot; and if you called him quietly, then everyone will think that you just blew on your nose. The swan then disappeared somewhere, but the name remained, and Christopher Robin decided to give it to his bear cub so that it would not be wasted.

And Winnie was the name of the best, kindest bear in the zoo, whom Christopher Robin loved very, very much. And she really, really loved him. Whether she was named Winnie in honor of Pooh, or Pooh was named in her honor - now no one knows, not even Christopher Robin's dad. He once knew, but now he has forgotten.

In a word, now the bear’s name is Winnie the Pooh, and you know why.

Sometimes Winnie the Pooh likes to play something in the evening, and sometimes, especially when dad is at home, he likes to sit quietly by the fire and listen to some interesting fairy tale.

This evening…

- Dad, how about a fairy tale? - asked Christopher Robin.

- What about a fairy tale? - Dad asked.

- Could you tell Winnie the Pooh a fairy tale? He really wants it!

“Maybe I could,” said Dad. - Which one does he want and about whom?

- Interesting, and about him, of course. He's SUCH a teddy bear!

- Understand. - said dad.

- So, please, daddy, tell me!

“I’ll try,” said dad.

And he tried.

A long time ago - it seems like last Friday - Winnie the Pooh lived alone in the forest, under the name Sanders.

- What does “lived under a name” mean? - Christopher Robin asked immediately.

- This means that on the plaque above the door it said "Mr. Sanders" in gold letters, and he lived under it.

“He probably didn’t understand it himself,” said Christopher Robin.

“But now I understand,” someone muttered in a deep voice.

“Then I will continue,” said dad.

One day, while walking through the forest, Pooh came out into a clearing. In the clearing there grew a tall, tall oak tree, and at the very top of this oak tree someone was buzzing loudly: zhzhzhzhzh...

Winnie the Pooh sat down on the grass under a tree, clasped his head in his paws and began to think.

At first he thought like this: “This is - zzzzzzzhzh - for a reason! No one will buzz in vain. The tree itself cannot buzz. So, someone is buzzing here. Why would you buzz if you are not a bee? I think so!”

Then he thought and thought some more and said to himself: “Why are there bees in the world? To make honey! I think so!”

Then he stood up and said:

Why is there honey in the world? So that I can eat it! In my opinion, this way and not otherwise!

And with these words he climbed the tree.

He climbed, and climbed, and climbed, and along the way he sang to himself a song that he himself immediately composed. Here's what:

The bear loves honey very much!
Why? Who will understand?
In fact, why
Does he like honey that much?

So he climbed a little higher... and a little more... and just a little bit higher... And then another chugging song came to his mind:

If bears were bees,
Then they wouldn't care
Never thought
Build a house so high;

And then (of course, if
Bees - they were bears!)
We bears would have no need to
Climb such towers!

To tell the truth, Pooh was already pretty tired, which is why Pyhtelka turned out to be so plaintive. But he only has a very, very, very little bit left to climb. All you have to do is climb this branch and...

Mother! - Pooh shouted, flying a good three meters down and almost hitting his nose on a thick branch.

Eh, why did I just... - he muttered, flying another five meters.

But I didn’t want to do anything bad... - he tried to explain, hitting the next branch and turning upside down.

And all because,” he finally admitted, when he somersaulted three more times, wished all the best to the lowest branches and smoothly landed in a prickly, prickly thorn bush, “it’s all because I love honey too much!” Mother!…

Pooh climbed out of the thorn bush, pulled the thorns out of his nose and began to think again. And the very first thing he thought about was Christopher Robin.

- About me? - Christopher Robin asked in a voice trembling with excitement, not daring to believe such happiness.

- About you.

Christopher Robin said nothing, but his eyes grew larger and larger, and his cheeks grew pinker and pinker.

Winnie the Pooh is a teddy bear and a great friend of Christopher Robin. All kinds of stories happen to him. One day, going out into a clearing, Winnie the Pooh sees a tall oak tree, at the top of which something is buzzing: zhzhzhzhzhzh! No one will buzz in vain, and Winnie the Pooh tries to climb the tree for honey. Having fallen into the bushes, the bear goes to Christopher Robin for help. Taking a blue balloon from the boy, Winnie the Pooh rises into the air, singing “Tuchka’s special song”: “I am Tuchka, Tuchka, Tuchka, / And not a bear at all, / Oh, how nice it is for Tuchka / to fly across the sky!”

But the bees behave “suspiciously,” according to Winnie the Pooh, that is, they suspect something. One after another they fly out of the hollow and sting Winnie the Pooh. (“These are the wrong bees,” the bear understands, “they probably make the wrong honey.”) And Winnie the Pooh asks the boy to shoot down the ball with a gun. “He’ll go bad,” protests Christopher Robin. “And if you don’t shoot, I’ll be spoiled,” says Winnie the Pooh. And the boy, understanding what to do, knocks down the ball. Winnie the Pooh smoothly falls to the ground. True, after this, for a whole week the bear’s paws stuck up and he could not move them. If a fly landed on his nose, he had to blow it away: “Pooh!” Puhhh!” Perhaps that is why he was called Pooh.

One day Pooh went to visit the Rabbit, who lived in a hole. Winnie the Pooh was always not averse to “refreshing himself,” but while visiting the Rabbit, he obviously allowed himself too much and therefore, when he got out, he got stuck in the hole. Winnie the Pooh's faithful friend, Christopher Robin, read books aloud to him for a whole week, while inside, in the hole. The rabbit (with Pooh's permission) used his back legs as a towel rack. The fluff became thinner and thinner, and then Christopher Robin said: “It’s time!” and grabbed Pooh's front paws, and the Rabbit grabbed onto Christopher Robin, and the Rabbit's Relatives and Friends, of whom there were an awful lot, grabbed onto the Rabbit and began to drag with all their might, and Winnie the Pooh jumped out of the hole like a cork from a bottle, and Christopher Robin and Rabbit and everyone else flew upside down!

In addition to Winnie the Pooh and the Rabbit, there are also piglets Piglet (“Very Little Creature”), Owl (she is literate and can even write her name “SAVA”), and the always sad donkey Eeyore who live in the forest. A donkey's tail once disappeared, but Pooh managed to find it. In search of a tail, Pooh wandered to the all-knowing Owl. The owl lived in a real castle, according to the little bear. On the door she had a bell with a button and a bell with a cord. Under the bell there was a notice: “PLEASE LEAVE IF THEY DO NOT OPEN.” Christopher Robin wrote the ad because even Owl couldn't do it. Pooh tells Owl that Eeyore has lost his tail and asks for help finding it. The Owl embarks on theoretical discussions, and poor Pooh, who, as you know, has sawdust in his head, soon ceases to understand what he is talking about, and answers the Owl’s questions in turn with “yes” and “no.” To the next “no,” Owl asks in surprise: “What, you didn’t see?” and takes Pooh to look at the bell and the announcement under it. Pooh looks at the bell and cord and suddenly realizes that he has seen something very similar somewhere. The Owl explains that one day in the forest she saw this lace and called, then she called very loudly, and the cord came off... Pooh explains to the Owl that Eeyore really needed this cord, that he loved it, one might say, was attached to it. With these words, Pooh unhooks the lace and carries Eeyore, and Christopher Robin nails him in place.

Sometimes new animals appear in the forest, such as Kanga's mother and Little Roo.

At first, the Rabbit decides to teach Kanga a lesson (he is outraged that she carries a child in her pocket, he tries to count how many pockets he would need if he, too, decided to carry children in this way - it turns out that seventeen, and one more for a handkerchief! ): steal Little Roo and hide him, and when Kanga starts looking for him, tell her “AHA!” in such a tone that she would understand everything. But so that Kanga does not immediately notice the loss, Piglet must jump into her pocket instead of Little Roo. And Winnie the Pooh must speak to Kanga very inspiredly, so that she turns away even for a minute, then the Rabbit will be able to run away with Little Roo. The plan succeeds, and Kanga discovers the substitution only when he gets home. She knows that Christopher Robin will not allow anyone to hurt Little Roo, and decides to play a prank on Piglet. He, however, tries to say “AHA!”, but this has no effect on Kanga. She prepares a bath for Piglet, continuing to call him "Roo". Piglet unsuccessfully tries to explain to Kanga who he really is, but she pretends that she doesn’t understand what’s going on. And now Piglet is already washed, and a spoonful of fish oil is waiting for him. He is saved from the medicine by the arrival of Christopher Robin. Piglet rushes to him in tears, begging him to confirm that he is not Little Roo. Christopher Robin confirms that this is not Roo, whom he just saw at Rabbit's, but refuses to recognize Piglet because Piglet is "an entirely different color." Kanga and Christopher Robin decide to name him Henry Puschel. But then the newly-minted Henry Puschel manages to wriggle out of Kanga’s hands and run away. He had never had to run so fast before! Only a hundred steps from the house does he stop running and roll on the ground to regain his own familiar and sweet color. So Little Roo and Kanga remain in the forest.

Another time, Tigger, an unknown animal, appears in the forest, smiling broadly and welcomingly. Pooh treats Tigger to honey, but it turns out that Tiggers don't like honey. Then the two of them go to visit Piglet, but it turns out that Tigers don’t even eat acorns. He also cannot eat the thistle that Eeyore gave to Tigger. Winnie the Pooh bursts out in poetry: “What to do with poor Tigger? / How can we save him? / After all, he who does not eat anything / cannot grow!”

The friends decide to go to Kanga, and there Tigger finally finds food he likes - fish oil, Little Roo’s hated medicine. So Tigger lives in Kanga's house and always gets fish oil for breakfast, lunch and dinner. And when Kanga thought he needed some food, she would give him a spoonful or two of porridge. (“But I personally think,” Piglet used to say in such cases, “that he is already strong enough.”)

Events take their course: either the “expedition” goes to the North Pole, then Piglet is saved from the flood in Christopher Robin’s umbrella, then the storm destroys Owl’s house, and the donkey looks for a house for her (which turns out to be Piglet’s house), and Piglet goes to live with Winnie. Pooh, then Christopher Robin, having already learned to read and write, leaves (it’s not entirely clear how, but it’s clear that he’s leaving) from the forest...

The animals say goodbye to Christopher Robin, Eeyore writes a terribly complicated poem for this occasion, and when Christopher Robin, having read it to the end, looks up, he sees only Winnie the Pooh in front of him. The two of them go to the Enchanted Place. Christopher Robin tells Pooh different stories, which immediately get mixed up in his sawdust-filled head, and in the end knights him. Christopher Robin then asks the bear to promise that he will never forget him. Even when Christopher Robin turns a hundred years old. (“How old will I be then?” asks Pooh. “Ninety-nine,” answers Christopher Robin). “I promise,” Pooh nods his head. And they walk along the road.

And wherever they go and no matter what happens to them - “here, in the Enchanted Place on the top of the hill in the forest, the little boy will always, always play with his little bear.”

The fairy tale Winnie the Pooh and read everything

A teddy bear with a head stuffed with sawdust was the boy Christopher's favorite toy. Every day dad tells his son about the adventures of the restless Vinny and his friends. With the help of a balloon, Winnie tries to get to the hollow with honey. It turns out that the “wrong” bees have the “wrong” honey. Christopher had to shoot the ball to save his friend. The next day, Pooh, visiting the Rabbit, ate too much sweets, so he got stuck at the exit of the hole. The fat man got out of the rabbit hole only after seven days, when he lost a little weight. Pooh constantly composes funny chant songs and mutters them to himself. Little Bear's best friends are Eeyore and Piglet. Responsive Winnie helps the donkey return the tail, which served as the Owl's bell cord. Friends are trying to catch a mysterious animal - a Heffalump. A pot of honey serves as bait for the stranger. Sweet tooth Vinnie couldn't resist the temptation to eat honey. His head got stuck in the pot. Piglet mistook his friend with a pot on his head for a monster and was very scared. Funny moments in the story alternate with sad ones. Christopher has matured. He will no longer be able to play with friends in the Enchanted Forest. But the boy promises Pooh that he will always remember him. You can read the fairy tale online on our website.

CHAPTER FIRST,
in which we meet Winnie the Pooh and some bees

Well, here is Winnie the Pooh.

As you can see, he goes down the stairs after his friend Christopher Robin, head down, counting the steps with the back of his head: boom boom boom. He doesn’t yet know any other way to get down the stairs. Sometimes, however, it seems to him that some other way could be found, if only he could stop babbling for a minute and concentrate properly. But alas, he has no time to concentrate.
Be that as it may, he has already come down and is ready to meet you.
- Winnie the Pooh. Very nice!
You're probably wondering why his name is so strange, and if you know English, you'll be even more surprised.
This unusual name was given to him by Christopher Robin. I must tell you that Christopher Robin once knew a swan on a pond, whom he called Pooh. It was a very appropriate name for a swan, because if you call a swan loudly: “Pooh!” Pooh!” - and he doesn’t respond, then you can always pretend that you were just pretending to shoot; and if you called him quietly, then everyone will think that you just blew on your nose. The swan then disappeared somewhere, but the name remained, and Christopher Robin decided to give it to his bear cub so that it would not be wasted.
And Winnie was the name of the best, kindest bear in the zoo, whom Christopher Robin loved very much. And she loved him very, very much. Whether she was named Winnie in honor of Pooh, or Pooh was named in her honor - now no one knows, not even Christopher Robin's dad. He once knew, but now he has forgotten.
In short, now the bear's name is Winnie the Pooh, and you know why.
Sometimes Winnie the Pooh likes to play something in the evening, and sometimes, especially when dad is at home, he likes to sit quietly by the fire and listen to some interesting fairy tale.
This evening…

Dad, how about a fairy tale? - asked Christopher Robin.
- What about a fairy tale? - Dad asked.
- Could you tell Winnie the Pooh a fairy tale? He really wants it!
“Maybe I could,” said Dad. - Which one does he want and about whom?
- Interesting, and about him, of course. He's SUCH a teddy bear!
- Understand. - said dad.
- So, please, daddy, tell me!
“I’ll try,” said dad.
And he tried.

A long time ago - it seems like last Friday - Winnie the Pooh lived alone in the forest, under the name Saunders.

What does “lived under a name” mean? - Christopher Robin asked immediately.
