Summary/Abstract: Nothing more difficult than to tell when we met our best friends for the first time. I am quite sure I did not meet Winnie ille Pu (my companion in Gestapo-occupied Rome, in the forests of Brasil and now in the greenest valley of the world in the state of Santa Catarina) as a child. I am quite sure about it; he was not yet born when I went to school. We, Hungarian children of the pre- Winnie era, had quite a different bear whom we did not love less, but who did not reach Winnie’s international fame, probably because his name was less suited for export. He was called Dörmögô Dömötör and his passion for honey and good food was absolutely Winnie-like.
