A stiff riff on the fable of the ant and the grasshopper has rabbit refusing to share the bounty of his garden until a frost threatens to destroy his harvest and his friends share their labor to save the crop. Rabbit shares his veggies out of gratitude, but then Pooh starts pushing for the honey that is sitting in the pantry also.

Pooh, you Commie ol' bear!

Are you pushing for a socialist redistribution of income and wealth? What about emphasizing instead that the Hundred-Acre Wood is in need of a system of currency so rabbit can profit from sales of his surplus and use the proceeds to hire minimum wage day laborers and purchase crop insurance?

Republicans, forget about Maus and get on this ASAP!

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, show more and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Book for primary. Classic Winnie the Pooh characters help to teach the readers about the importance of sharing. Rabbit grew this beautiful garden, and worked hard on it, so he didn't want to just share all his hard earned vegetables. So when his friends asked him to share, he said no because he worked hard on his vegetables. But then a cold wind came and his crops were going to be ruined so his friends all came to help him save his crops. This taught rabbit about the importance of kindness and sharing.
