Topher's Winnie-the-Pooh Mysteries
"The Case of the Missing Tail"
Based upon the characters and stories by A. A. Milne

Owl lived in a large Chestnut tree in the middle of the Forest. Upon arriving at his door, Winnie-the-Pooh found that Owl had both a door knocker and a bell-rope. Beneath the door knocker was a sign which read:
