He also loves sad stories because they make him feel more appreciative of his life and what he has. He doesn't like his tail, but he agrees that nothing better can replace it. Eeyore's grumpiness and negative ways might be attributed to the fact that his tail is affixed to his backside using a pushpin and has a tendency to fall off.
