By the time it came to the edge of the forest, the stream had grown up so that it was almost a river on being grown up. It didn't run and jump and sparkle along, as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly for it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, There's no hurry. We shall get there someday. But all the little streams higher up in the forest went this way and that quickly, eagerly having so much to find out before it was too late. There was a broad track almost as broad as a road leading from the outland to the forest, but before it could come to the forest, it had to cross this river. So where it crossed, there was a wooden bridge almost as broad as a road with wooden rails on each side of it. Christopher Robin could just get his chin onto the top rail if he wanted to, but it was more fun to stand on the bottom rail so that he could lean right over and watch the river slipping slowly away beneath him, who could get his chin onto the bottom rail if he wanted to. But it was more fun to lie down and get his head under it and watch the river slipping slowly away beneath him. And this was the only way in which piglets and rue could watch the river a tall because they were too small to reach the bottom rail so they would lie down and watch it, and it slipped away very slowly, being in no hurry to get.
