to stand up again.
        Eeyore  said nothing for a long time. And then he said:
"Is Tigger there?"
        Tigger was there, feeling Bouncy again already.
        "Yes," said Christopher Robin. "Tigger's here."
        "Well, just thank him for me," said Eeyore.



Chapter V. In which Rabbit has a busy day,
 and we
learn what Christopher Robin does in the mornings


    IT was going to be one of Rabbit's busy days. As soon as he
woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon  him.
It  was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing a
Notice Signed Rabbit, or for Seeing What Everybody Else Thought
About It. It was a perfect morning for hurrying round to  Pooh,
and saying, "Very well, then, I'll tell Piglet," and then going
to Piglet, and saying, "Pooh thinks--but perhaps I'd better see
Owl  first."  It  was  a Captainish sort of day, when everybody
said, "Yes, Rabbit " and "No, Rabbit," and waited until he  had
told them.
        He  came  out  of his house and sniffed the warm spring
morning as he wondered what he  would  do.  Kanga's  house  was
nearest, and at Kanga's
    house  was  Roo,  who  said "Yes, Rabbit " and "No, Rabbit"
almost better than anybody else in the Forest;  but  there  was
another  animal  there nowadays, the strange and Bouncy Tigger;
and he was the sort of Tigger who was always in front when  you
were showing him the way anywhere,
    and was generally out of sight when at last you came to the
place and said proudly "Here we are!"
        "No, not Kanga's," said Rabbit thoughtfully to himself,
as he curled  his  whiskers  in the sun, and to make quite sure
that he wasn't going there, he turned to the left  and  trotted
off  in  the  other direction, which was the way to Christopher
Robin's house.
