found two days ago."
        There was a moment's silence.
        "Ha-ha," said Eeyore bitterly. "Merriment and what-not.
Don't apologize. It's just what would happen."



Chapter IV. In which it  is  shown  that  Tiggers

don't climb trees

     One day when Pooh was thinking, he thought he would go and
see Eeyore, because he hadn't seen him since yesterday. And  as
he walked through the  heather,  singing  to  himself, he suddenly
remembered that he hadn't seen Owl since the day before yesterday,
so he thought  that he would just look in at the Hundred Acre Wood
on the way and see if Owl was at home.
        Well, he went on singing, until he came to the part  of
the  stream  where the stepping-stones were, and when he was in
the middle of the third stone he began to wonder how Kanga  and
Roo and Tigger were getting on, because they all lived together
in  a  different part of the Forest. And he thought, "I haven't
seen Roo for a long time, and if I don't see him to-day it will
be a still longer time." So he sat down on  the  stone  in  the
middle of the stream, and sang another verse of his song, while
he wondered what to do.
        The other verse of the song was like this:

                        I could spend a happy morning
                     Seeing Roo,
                 I could spend a happy morning
                     Being Pooh.
                 For it doesn't seem to matter,
                 If I don't get any fatter
                 (And I don't get any fatter),
                     What I do.

        The  sun was so delightfully warm, and the stone, which
had been sitting in it for a long time, was so warm,  too  that
Pooh  had  almost  decided to go on being Pooh in the middle of
the stream for the rest of  the  morning,  when  he  remembered
