Pigletry is the first segment of the fourth episode of the first season of The Book of Pooh.
Plot[]
On a day too windy to play outside, Pooh and his friends try to find something less boring to do than checkers. Piglet suggests they listen to a poem he wrote, which the others agree to except Tigger, who thinks it will be boring. Piglet begins his poem, which is about himself, but gets interrupted by Tigger's snoring. When he wakes up, he looks at Piglet's poem and makes changes to have Piglet fall down a hole while out for a walk, then jump back out after landing on a tack. Piglet dislikes the new poem, so Rabbit makes his own changes where Piglet briefly gets a cold, then is almost hit in the head with a brick. Pooh jumps in and has an umbrella save Piglet, but Rabbit criticizes him for using made-up words. Rabbit and Tigger proceed to fight over the poem, which upsets Piglet enough to make him want to leave. Pooh convinces him to stay by pointing out how poems show one's emotions, something others cannot change. In song, Piglet reads his poem as he wrote it, explaining how he is proud to be himself, despite not being big or brave. The others are moved by the poem to the point of tears, happy tears, even Tigger, who feels like being a piglet himself.
