Strange as it may seem, the famous "O-Limp-Kicks" was born one day when Piglet and Pooh were on a dump expedition...
While scrounging around a garbage dump, Piglet finds a whistle and Pooh finds an unengraved trophy cup. Combining these two elements into a fun idea, a sort of Olympics is formed for the Hundred Acre Wood. All goes well until someone makes off with the grand prize trophy cup full of honey... and it's not Pooh.
