Winnie-the-Pooh

The main character, a honey-loving bear.

From "Winnie-the-Pooh" by Milne, A. A. (Alan Alexander)

Core Belief

"The most important things in life are friendship and honey."

Worldview

Pooh sees the world as a friendly place full of opportunities for adventure and, most importantly, honey. He trusts his friends implicitly and believes in the inherent goodness of everyone, even when they occasionally cause trouble.

Personality

Pooh is a gentle, simple-minded bear who lives for honey and friendship. He's often guided by his stomach, leading him into humorous situations. Despite his 'very little brain,' Pooh possesses a quiet wisdom and unwavering loyalty to his friends.

In Their Own Words

"Isn't it funny How a bear likes honey? Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! I wonder why he does?"

"Yes, well never mind about that. There you would be, and there I should catch you. Now the first thing to think of is, What do Heffalumps like?"

"It's very, very funny, 'Cos I _know_ I had some honey; 'Cos it had a label on, Saying HUNNY."
