This story is about: Piglet and Pooh set a trap for a Heffalump with Pooh’s honey in a deep pit. Pooh wakes up in the middle of the night wanting honey. Realising that he put it in the trap, he goes to the hole and gets his head stuck in the honey jar. In the morning Piglet peeps into the hole and thinks that Pooh is a Heffalump.
