And by and by Christopher Robin came to the end of things, and he was silent, and he sat there, looking out over the world, just wishing it wouldn't stop.

About This Quote

In the book, “Winnie-the-Pooh,” Pooh runs into a little boy named Christopher Robin. Pooh pulls out a book and begins to read it. It was a sad story about a little boy who lost his toys. The little boy began to cry because he couldn’t find them.

In the end, the boy was very sad because he realized that everything he held dear had been taken from him. Pooh understood that part of being a child is being able to lose things and have them returned to you. By the end of the story, Pooh was able to comfort Christopher Robin.

He told him that it’s good to have things return to us, but it’s even better not to have them taken away in the first place.
