This is a story about something that happened long ago when your grandfather was a child. The dark tower had been rebuilt, it was said. Every one of the travellers made the Winkies a pretty speech in return, and all shook hands with them until their arms ached. He turned his head on his pillow and shut his eyes and a big tear was squeezed out and ran down his cheek. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on top of the Forest a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.
