Well, I've got an idea," said Rabbit, "and here it is. We take Bigger for a long explore, somewhere where he's never been, and we lose him there, and next morning we find him again, and--mark my words--he'll be a different Bigger altogether." "Why?" said Pooh. "Because he'll be a Humble Bigger. Because he'll be a Sad Bigger, a Melancholy Bigger, a Small and Sorry Bigger, an Oh-Rabbit-I-am-glad-to-see-you Bigger. That's why." "Will he be glad to see me and Piglet, too?" "Of course." "That's good," said Pooh. "I should hate him to go on being Sad," said Piglet doubtfully. "Tigers never go on being Sad," explained Rabbit.
