From the Internet: "Anyways -- I need some help. I'm trying to find some kind of picture of Eeyore that is suitable for Windows wallpaper ... a.k.a. a decent size, well-scanned picture. The situation doesn't matter, but about all I see on the web is poor-quality video captures, poorly scanned or too small pics, and icons.
"I could go through my photo albums and send her my pictures, if she really wants them," Eeyore replied when Piglet read him this letter. "I have too many pictures to store in a leaky house, if you ask me, and I'd be mighty pleased to know someone has a Good Use for them. Does a heart good to find Uses for Things like pictures and what-not. Everytime I bring the album out to show to my friends -- when they care to stop by -- it takes me half an hour just to dry the pictures out from the last rain. Tends to be a bother most of the time. But there you have it -- I have these pictures and must show them to people, but if I gave them to someone else I wouldn't have to show them around and would spend less time drying them out."
"How many pictures do you have?" Piglet asked, wondering how Eeyore, who you would think would be camera-shy, had somehow accumulated a large amount of pictures of himself.
"Must be at least a hundred, maybe more. Christopher Robin bought a Camera last year and tried to take pictures of Tigger, but they all came out too wobbly because of the bouncing. Owl kept flying and wouldn't come down long enough to pose for a picture without telling a story and causing Christopher Robin to start snoring. And Rabbit was too busy in his garden to bother with pictures. So it was just me -- slow-moving, non-flying, always-got-time-for-you-if-you're-interested Eeyore who got his picture took. Lots of them. Don't know what to do with them now, except maybe wallpaper, which sounds about as good as anything."
I'd appreciate any comments, both positive and negative (but preferably constructive if they're negative) about this story or my writing style. I can be reached at Wstoler@aol.com.
