Chapter One
Most dogs have one name, but Pooch had
three – one after the other. Pooch was what
Grandma called him in the first place . But
when Nick was a toddler he couldn’t say
Pooch very well and so Pooch soon became
Pooh.
Then one day Pooh heard the rattle of the
milk bottles outside and came bounding out
of the house to say hello to the milkman – he
liked the milkman. But today it was a different
one. Pooh prowled around him sniffing at the
bottom of his trousers. The new milkman went
as white as his milk. Nick tried to drag Pooh
back into the house, but he wouldn’t come.
‘’S’like a wolf,’ said the milkman, putting his
hands on his head and backing down the path.
‘You ought to chain it up.’
‘Not a wolf,’ Nick said. ‘He’s an old station.’
‘A what?’ said the milkman.
‘An old station,’ Nick said. ‘Pooh is an old
station.’ At that moment Grandma came to
the door.
‘Nick gets his words muddled sometimes,’
she said. ‘He’s only little. I think he means an
Alsatian, don’t you, dear? Old Station! Old
Station! You are a funny boy, Nick.’ And she
laughed so much that she nearly
cried. So from that day
Pooh was called
Old Station.
There were
always just the
three of them in
the house. Nick
had lived with
Grandma for as
long as he could
remember.
