Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump,
bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind
Christopher Robin. It is, as far as he knows,
the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes
he feels that there really is another way, if
only he could stop bumping for a moment and think
of it. Stories of Winnie-The-Pooh, AA Milne 1989
