Returning from his historic trip to Cuba, President Carter made history again when during a six-hour layover at the airport, he accidentally brokered a truce between Helix and Pooh via cellphone.
A transcript of the call was leaked to the press.
"Oops, wrong number."
- Jimmy Carter
This brief yet powerful message triggered an immediate reaction. For the first time, Helix and Pooh met face-to-face for a civil discussion of their conflict.
Tensions were high but by the end of the meeting, they had hammered out a deal (and this time, Helix didn't actually USE a hammer ON Pooh). A temporary cease-torture agreement was announced and the two puppets, unable to sign their names, did shake paws as a gesture of good faith.
The terms of the truce have not been fully disclosed but it is believed that Helix has agreed to keep a respectable distance away from Pooh and in return, Winnie will promise not to sneak any more of Helix's honey or honey-related edibles.
Plans for an official Peace Summit later this year are in the beginning stages. A date for this event has yet to be announced but both parties feel confident that they come to the table and work out their differences.
"I noticed your torturing of
Winnie the Pooh and I was just wondering where this
insatiable need to do horrid things to him comes from. It
seems you have alot of pent up hostility towards him. Is
it because he does not have horns or could it be
because he is yellow and clashes with your orange?"
(Chris)
While Helix does prefer puppets
WITH horns, Helix does realize that Pooh is a bear and
bears do not have horns. Now, if Pooh were a MONSTER and
still didn't have horns, that might be grounds for
bullying but nothing as extreme as torture.
Helix was lucky to be born (made) with adorable ORANGE
fur. Helix thinks that having to live with a sickly
yellow hue is more than enough punishment for Winnie the
Pooh. Helix will not rub it in.
So if it's not the horns and it's not the fur, WHAT IS IT
about Pooh that has caused Helix to take such aggressive
action against him?
It's all about the honey, of course! That's right. Pooh
is a CON BEAR. He tricked Helix out of his honey. Helix
was saving his honey for his good friend, Bee, and
without even asking, Winnie swiped it out of the kitchen
cupboard and devoured the whole container.
What is most disturbing about this is the premeditation
of Pooh Bear. He set Helix up on a monster blind date
with his forest friend, Piglet. While Helix was
distracted by trying to determine Piglet's gender (still
unknown at this time), Pooh was able to carry out this
heist.
When Helix returned to find his cupboard bare from a
bear, he was furious. Theft of honey is an inexcusable
crime. Helix confronted Pooh with damaging evidence of
his involvement (mysterious clumps of yellow fur were
found on the kitchen counter). Pooh was quick to confess
but offered no apologizes and showed no remorse for what
he did.
Instead, Pooh growled at Helix and told him he was coming
after Helix's Honeycombs cereal next!
Helix could not let this happen! Helix loves his
Honeycombs cereal and decided to go on the attack to
protect his breakfast! Thus, began the war on Pooh.
