Oh, Bother Someone’s Babysitting
it was a breezy sort of day in the 100
Acre Wood Kanga pulled on her sweater as
she headed for the door she was going to
the other side of the wood to pick
cloudberries for dessert Roo had been so
very good lately that Kanga wanted to
give him a treat of course Roo didn’t
know that all he knew was that Kanga was
going out and leaving him at
home I don’t want to stay home alone
whined Roo pouting you won’t be alone
dear said Kanga I asked Tigger to
be your babysitter for today before Roo
could answer a babysitter complained
Roo I’m too old I’m too big to have a babysitter
now Roo said Kanga firmly you can’t go out with
me today and that’s final but I’m sure
you’ll have a wonderful time with Tigger
you always do don’t you before Roo could
answer there was a knock at the door Kanga
opened it and and bouncy tigger hi ya kanga hello there
Roo greeted tigger babysitter Tigger At Your
Service good morning Tigger said Kanga hi
Tigger mumbled Roo Kanga bent down and
kissed Roo goodbye I’ll see you later
Roo now you mind Tigger all right have no
fear boasted Tigger baby sitting is what
Tiggers do best Kanga smiled and was out
the door let’s see Tigger throw out loud rubbing
his chin we got to think of some fun
stuff we can do today little buddy but Roo
wasn’t listening because he wasn’t there
he had quietly said goodbye to Tigger and
had slipped out the door I can take myself for
a walk in the woods Roo said to himself I don’t need a
babysitter and with that he marched into
the woods to enjoy the lovely autumn day
the sun shone bright and the trees were
brilliant with color I could put some leaves in my leaf book
thought Roo so he started Gathering
leaves and stuffing them in his sweater
pocket Roo was so busy looking on the
ground for interesting leaves to collect
that he didn’t notice how deep into the
woods he had wandered when he finally
decided he had enough leaves and looked
up Roo realized he was lost where am I
asked Roo sniffling I want to go
home meanwhile Tigger was still trying to
figure out how to spend the day hey
thought Tigger finally I’ll ask Roo what
he wants to do but where is he Roo
called Tigger sticking his head into Roo’s
bedroom Roo tiger looked all over the
house and then stepped outside Roo he
yelled are we playing hide and
seek Tigger checked the front yard and
there along the dirt path to the house
he saw something that caught his eye Roo
prints shouted Tigger I’ll bet whoever
left those prints behind can tell me
where Roo is I’d better follow
them Tigger hadn’t gone very far before
he bumped into Owl oof cried Owl backing
away I would appreciate it immensely if
you would kindly watch where you’re
going Tigger sorry Tigger replied but I’m
in a hurry I’m babysitting for Roo only
I can’t seem to find him well why didn’t you
say so ask owl I’ll help you
look after a long search Owl and Tigger
found Roo was very happy to see them
you shouldn’t have run off like that
scolded Tigger next time Roo you asked
tiger to go with you suggested Owl okay
said Roo I will Roo couldn’t wait to get home he
stayed right behind Tigger until they
neared the bridge that was close to
Roo’s house Roo hopped toward the bridge
come come back Rue called Tigger you’re
going the way wrong way just follow me
he continued taking a more roundabout
Trail R side and caught up with Tigger he
followed Tigger for a while but then
doubled back to the bridge this way is
much faster said Roo I’ll bet I can beat
Tigger home a few minutes later Tigger heard a
scream help help me Tigger that sounds
like Roo thought Tigger but Roo is right
Tigger turned around and saw that Roo was
no longer behind him help came the cry
again tiger followed the sound until he
came to the bridge Roo cried Tigger surprised what
are you doing here I thought you were
right behind me Roo was in the middle of
the bridge with one foot foot stuck
through a hole in the wood plank I knew
this bridge had a hole in it Tigger told
him that’s why I was leading us the long
way around I bounced into that very hole
yesterday myself as ticker pulled Roo free Pooh and piglet
came along when they heard how Roo had
come to be stuck in the middle of the
bridge they shook their heads you know
Roo Pooh remarked it isn’t very nice of
you to do to do the opposite of what
Tigger tells you you could hurt yourself
that’s right added Piglet in a grown-up
sort of voice sometimes a very small
animal such as yourself really should
pay attention to a somewhat larger
animal such as Tigger Roo was only half listening to
Pooh and Piglet the other half of him
was listening to his stomach he was
awfully hungry when he and Tigger got
back to the house Roo ran straight to
the kitchen to look for something to eat
I’ll fix you something in a minute tiger
called after him but Roo didn’t want to
wait he took out a slice of bread and
then looked around for something to put
on it he spotted a jar of syrup on the
top shelf of the cupboard Roo stood on a
chair on his tippy toes and reached for
the jar oh no cried Roo the jar tipped over
and by the time Tigger got there Roo was
covered in syrup from head to
toe Tigger cleaned up Roo in
silence then fix sandwiches for lunch
Rue sat at the table with his head hung
down I’m sorry tiger Roo whispered I guess
I should have waited it’s okay said
Tigger sighing let’s say we finish
cleaning up and then take a nap Tigger
need rest after a day like today me too
said Roo breaking into a smile Roo
cuddled up next to Tigger in the big
rocking chair and that’s how Kanga found
them when she came
home Kanga made dinner for everyone
Tigger was unusually quiet is something
wrong as Kanga Roo gulped and told her
everything even though he had promised
to listen and do what what he was told
from now on he thought Kanga would be
angry but she surprised him Roo I’m so
proud of you for telling the truth in
fact I have a treat for you Kanga left the
table and came back with dessert cloudberries
cried Roo Kanga left that’s what I went out to get I
brought back plenty for you and for your
special babysitter Tigger and Roo
grinned from ear to
ear
the end
be sure to like and share and have a Blessed day
