For Pooh a gorsebush means the same as a surprise. He remembers the day when a gorsebush suddenly fell over him when he fell off a tree. Right, he was trying to climb up to a bees’ nest. And he needed 6 days to pull out all the prickles.
In the Hundred-Acer-Wood, i.e. in Ahsown Forest, there grow lots of gorsebushes. When this Pooh visited the area most of the yellow flowers had already gone. Little pods full of seeds were hanging from their prickly branches. Soft and big are the branches of the ferns which are about 2 metres high, a good place for playing hide-and-seek with Rabbit and his Relatives, ”Hi!” Pooh called when one of them passed by and disappeared in the fern. The rabbit didn’t answer. It was too busy. That’s what rabbits always are. ”Bother!” Pooh growled. He was longing for a Little Something, some hunny for example, at Rabbit’s.
