Piglet felt very miserable, and didn't know what to say. He was still opening
his mouth to begin something, and then deciding that it wasn't any good saying
that, when he heard a shout from the other side of the river, and there was
Pooh.
"Many happy returns of the day," called out Pooh, forgetting that he had said it
already.
"Thank you, Pooh, I'm having them," said Eeyore gloomily.
"I've brought you a little present," said Pooh excitedly.
"I've had it," said Eeyore.
Pooh had now splashed across the stream to Eeyore, and Piglet was sitting a
little way off, his head in his paws, snuffling to himself.
"It's a Useful Pot," said Pooh. "Here it is. And it's got 'A Very Happy Birthday
with love from Pooh' written on it. That's what all that writing is. And it's
for putting things in. There!"
When Eeyore saw the pot, he became quite excited.
"Why!" he said. "I believe my Balloon will just go into that Pot!"
"Oh, no, Eeyore," said Pooh. "Balloons are much too big to go into Pots. What
you do with a balloon is, you hold the balloon "
"Not mine," said Eeyore proudly. "Look, Piglet!" And as Piglet looked
sorrowfully round, Eeyore picked the balloon up with his teeth, and placed it
carefully in the pot; picked it out and put it on the ground; and then picked it
up again and put it carefully back.
"So it does!" said Pooh. "It goes in!"
"So it does!" said Piglet. "And it comes out!"
"Doesn't it?" said Eeyore. "It goes in and out like anything."
"I'm very glad," said Pooh happily, "that I thought of giving you a Useful Pot
to put things in."
"I'm very glad," said Piglet happily, "that thought of giving you something to
put in a Useful Pot."
But Eeyore wasn't listening. He was taking the balloon out, and putting it back
again, as happy as could be....


"And didn't I give him anything?" asked Christopher Robin sadly.
"Of course you did," I said. "You gave him don't you remember--a little--a
little "
"I gave him a box of paints to paint things with."
"That was it."
"Why didn't I give it to him in the morning?"
"You were so busy getting his party ready for him. He had a cake with icing on
the top, and three candles, and his name in pink sugar? and "
"Yes, I remember," said Christopher Robin?
