Beautiful lines from children's books

Just came across this line in DD's current favourite bedtime story:
"Then Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh walked hand in hand down the forest path and they said goodbye. So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the forest a little boy and his bear will always be playing."
I'm in tears. It's times like this that I wish that I could share these feelings with DD's father (I'm widowed - not a thread about that though).

What lines in children's stories pull at your heart strings?

'What became of the sandwich?
Well, in Itching Down they like to tell
How the birds flew off with it in their beaks
And had a feast for a hundred weeks.'

(The end of 'The Giant Jam Sandwich'). Not even sad but still gives me goosebumps like Smiths' lyrics and makes me a bit tearful for no good reason. DCs could never understand why I wobbled over it every time.

Hallo folks,

We're going to move this to Classics, then! It's 9.16 and I am already teary which is some sort of mod record, surely.

Winnie the Pooh - every, every time. "How lucky am I to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard"
