Why I'm walking for social justice

66fd46775a8e6.jpegOne fine fall day when Piglet was brushing away the fallen leaves in front of his house, he happened to look up, and there was Winnie-the-Pooh. Pooh was walking round and round in a circle, thinking of something else, and when Piglet called to him, he just went on walking. 

"Hallo!" said Piglet, "what are you doing?" 

“I am training for Walk the Walk,” said Pooh. 

"Walk the What?" asked Piglet. 

“No. Not Walk the What, Piglet. ‘Walk the Walk,’ Pooh repeated. 

"What is Walk the Walk?" said Piglet, coming closer. 

"It is a 5 kilometre walk I am doing to raise funds for social justice," explained Pooh. 

“Social justice? What is that?" inquired Piglet. 

“Well. Umm. Yes.” Pooh paused to clear his throat to give him the sound of authority, while trying to think of something clever to say. Finally he replied, “It’s about taking care of others. Those who need a bit of help or a friend. To manage through challenging times.” 

“Like having food to eat and place to live? And maybe someone to talk to when you’re feeling a little bit, or maybe a lot, sad? Is it things like that, Pooh?” 

“Yes, Piglet. It is exactly things like that, and a lot of other things, too,” said Pooh. 

Piglet thought for a moment. “It seems to me social justice is a lot like having a friend like you, Pooh.” 

Pooh smiled and nodded. “And it is also a lot like having a friend like you, Piglet.” 

“Pooh?” Piglet asked quietly. “Could I join you in walking for social justice, too?” 

“I’d very much like that, Piglet. In fact, I can think of nothing better.”
