"Good morning, Pooh Bear," said Eeyore gloomily. "If

"Why, what's the matter?"
"Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can't all, and some of
us don't. That's all there is to it."
"Can't all what?" said Pooh, rubbing his nose.

One can't complain. I have my friends. Someone spoke to me
only yesterday.

Don't Bustle me. Don't now-then me.

I'm telling you. People come and go in this Forest, and they
say, 'It's only Eeyore, so it doesn't count.'
