- Es el mejor sitio para una Emboscada -explicó.
- ¿Es algo de comer? -preguntó Puh a Porquete en un susurro.
- Mi querido Puh -dijo Búho con tono de superioridad-. ¿No sabes lo que es una Emboscada?
- Búho -dijo Porquete mirándole con gran severidad-, el susurro de Puh era absolutamente privado y no tienes por qué…

- Hay cosas de comer que también lo son -dijo Puh.
- Una Emboscada, tal y como yo estaba explicándole a Puh -dijo Porquete-, es una especie de Sorpresa.

- Una Emboscada es cuando alguien se te cae encima de repente, Puh - explicó Porquete.
Puh, que ahora ya sabía lo que era una Emboscada, les contó cómo un tarro entero de miel se le había caído encima una mañana y cómo había necesitado seis días para chuparse toda la miel de encima y lo que le fastidió tener que desperdiciar la que le cayó en los sitios donde no llegaba para chupar.
- No estaba hablando de comida -dijo Búho un poco molesto.
- Yo sí -dijo Puh.”

“"Shall I look too?" said Pooh, who was beginning to feel a little eleven o'clockish. And he found a small tin of condensed milk, and something seemed to tell him that Tiggers didn't like this, so he took it into a corner by itself, and went with it to see that nobody interrupted it.”
