Halfway between Pooh's house and Piglet's house was a thoughtful spot where they met sometimes when they had decided to go and see each other.

And as it was warm and out of the wind, they would sit down there for a little and wonder what they would do now that they had seen each other.

One day when they had decided not to do anything, Pooh made up a verse about it so that everybody should know what the place was for.

This warm and sunny spot belongs to Pooh, and here he wonders what he's going to do.

Now, one summer morning, when the wind had blown all the leaves off the trees in the night and was trying to blow the branches off Pooh and Piglet was sitting in the thoughtful spot and wondering.

I think we'll go to Pooh's Corner and see Eeyore, because perhaps his house has been blown down and perhaps he'd like us to build it again.

What I think, said Piglet, is I think we'll go and see Christopher Robin.

Because when you've been walking in the wind for miles and you suddenly go into somebody's house and he says, hello, Pooh, you're just in time for a little smackerel of something, and

you are, then it's what I call a friendly day.

Piglet thought that they ought to have a reason for going to see everybody, like looking for small or organising an expedition.

If Pooh could think of something, Pooh could.

We'll go because it's Thursday, he said, and we'll go to wish everybody a very happy Thursday.

when Piglet had sat down again, because he didn't know the wind was so strong and had been helped up by Pooh, they started off.

They went to Pooh's house first, and luckily Pooh was at home just as they got there.

So he asked them in and they had some, and

then they went on to Kanga's house, holding onto each other and shouting.

By the time they got to Kanga's house, they were so buffeted that they stayed to lunch.

Just at first it seemed rather cold outside afterwards, so they pushed onto rabbits as quickly as they could.

We've come to wish you a very happy Thursday, said Pooh when he had gone in and out once or twice, just to make sure he could get out again.

Rabbit, whose life was made up of important things, said, oh, I thought you'd really come about something.

They sat down for a little, and by and by, Pooh and Piglet went on again.

The wind was behind them now, so they didn't have to shout.

I suppose, said Pooh, that that's why he never understands anything.

Christopher Robin was at home by this time because it was the afternoon, and

he was so glad to see them that they stayed there until very nearly tea time.

And then they had a very nearly tea, which is one you forget about afterwards, and

hurried on to Pooh Corner so as to see Eeyore before it was too late to have a property with Owl.

Hello, Eeyore, they called out cheerfully.

We just came to see you, said Piglet, and to see how your house was.

Somebody ought to have come down and pushed it over.

We wondered whether the wind would blow it down, said Pooh.

Ah, that's why nobody's bothered, I suppose.

Well, we're very glad to see you, Eeyore.

He flew past a day or two ago and noticed me.

He didn't actually say anything, mind you, but he knew it was me.

Very friendly of him, I thought, encouraging.

Pooh and Piglet shuffled about a little and said, well, goodbye, Eeyore, as lingeringly as they could.

But they had a long way to go and wanted to be getting on.

Mind you don't get blown away, little Piglet.

People would say, where's little Piglet been blown to, really wanting to know.

Well, goodbye, and thank you for happening to pass me.

Goodbye, said Pooh and Piglet for the last time.

Piglet's ears streamed behind him like banners as he fought his way along.

And it seemed hours before he got them into the shelter of the Hundred Acre Wood.

And they stood straight up again to listen a little nervously to the roaring of the gale among the treetops.

Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?

After careful thought, Piglet was comforted by this.

And in a little while they were knocking and ringing very cheerfully at Owl's door.

Piglet and I just came to see how you were.

They thanked him and made themselves as comfortable as they could.

Because you see, Owl, said Pooh, we've been hurrying so as to be in time for so as to see you before we went away again.

am I right in supposing that it is a very blusterous day outside?

Very, said Piglet, who was quietly thawing his ears and wishing he was safely back in his own house.

It was on just such a blusterous day as this that my Uncle Robert.
