A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh stories have delighted children and adults. In one of his stories, Pooh and Piglet are walking home together at the end of the day. After a long silence, Piglet asks, “When you wake up in the morning, Pooh, what’s the first thing you say to yourself?”

“What’s for breakfast?” replied Pooh.

Piglet answers “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” Pooh nods and says. “It’s the same thing.”
