"What do you like doing best in the world, Pooh?"

"Well," said Pooh, "what I like best ---" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you begin to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called.

-- A.A. Milne The House At Pooh Corner
