Eeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream and looked at himself in the water.
'Pathetic,' he said. 'That's what it is. Pathetic.'
He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.
'As I thought,' he said. 'No better from this side.'

'It's snowing still,' said Eeyore gloomily.
'So it is.'
'And freezing.'
'Is it?'
'Yes,' said Eeyore. 'However,' he said, brightening up a little, 'We haven't had an earthquake lately.'
"I don't hold with all the washing," grumbled Eeyore. "This modern Behind-the-ears nonsense."
