Once again, Piglet is scared of noises he hears in the dark of night. He runs to Pooh, who leads him to Owl, who spends the rest of the night introducing the pair to the nocturnal creatures of the Hundred-Acre Wood. It's not bad, but there is a reason the Pooh friends always start to tune Owl out, fall asleep, or creep away as he gives his ponderous lectures.
