One day Pooh came apon some tracks in the snow and began to follow them out of curiousity. At times he became afraid that perhaps they were the tracks of a scary monster, a 'heffalump'. As Pooh followed the tracks, his friend piglet joined him. After Pooh had shared with piglet his wonder about what sort of creatue might have made the tracks they were following, Piglet became very afraid. When the tracks appeared to multiply and become muddled as though the party they were pursuing might actually be a hostile group, piglet went home.
Luckily, Christopher Robin happened along and pointed out to Pooh that while he was climbing an old oak tree nearby he noticed Pooh walking in circles around a spinney of larch trees. At that very moment, Pooh paused and thought very hard about his circumstances. He raised his paw slowly, looked at it carefully, he then placed his paw in the outline of one of the tracks he had been following. Pooh then said, "I am a bear of little brains at all".
