Once upon a time, a very long time ago, about last Friday, Winnie-the-Pooh lived in a forest all by himself.

One day when he was walking, he came to an open place in the middle of the forest, and in the middle of this place was a large oak-tree, and, from the top of the tree, came a loud buzzing-noise.

Winnie-the-Pooh sat down at the foot of the tree, put his head between his paws and began to think.

First of all he said to himself: ‘That buzzing-noise means something. If there’s a buzzing-noise, somebody must make it. And the only reason for making a buzzing-noise is because you’re a bee.’ Then he thought another long time, and said: ‘And the only reason for being a bee is making honey.’ And then he got up, and said: ‘And the only reason for making honey is that I can eat it.’ So he began to climb the tree.

He climbed and he climbed and he climbed and as he climbed he sang a little song to himself. Then he climbed a little further… and a little further… and then just a little further. He was rather tired by this time. He was nearly there now, and if he just stood on that branch…

Crack!

‘Oh, help!’ said Pooh, as he dropped ten feet on the branch below him.

‘It was stupid –’ he said, as he fell on the next branch.

‘You see, what I meant to do,’ he explained, as he turned head-over-heels, and crashed on to another branch thirty feet below, ‘what I meant to do – ’

‘Of course, it was rather –’ he admitted, as he flew very quickly through the next six branches.

‘It all comes,’ he decided, as he said good-bye to the last branch, spun round three times, and flew gracefully into a gorse-bush, ‘it all comes of liking honey so much. Oh, help!’

He crawled out of the gorse-bush, took the prickles out of his nose, and began to think again. And first of all he thought of Christopher Robin, who lived behind a green door in another part of the Forest.

‘Good morning, Christopher Robin,’ he said.

‘Good morning, Winnie-the-Pooh,’ said you.

‘Have you got such a thing as a balloon about you?’

‘A balloon?’

‘Yes, I just said to myself coming along: “I wonder if Christopher Robin has such a thing as a balloon about him?” I just said it to myself, thinking of balloons.’

‘What do you want a balloon for?’ you said.

Winnie-the-Pooh looked round, put his paw to his mouth, and said in a deep whisper: ‘Honey!’

‘But you don’t get honey with balloons!’

‘I do,’ said Pooh.

Well, the day before he was at the house of his friend Piglet, and he had balloons at the party. He brought the green one and the blue one home with him.

‘Which one would you like?’ he asked Pooh. He put his head between his paws and thought very carefully.

‘It’s like this,’ he said. ‘When you go after honey with a balloon, the great thing is not to let the bees know you’re coming. Now, if you have a green balloon, they might think you are only part of the tree, and not notice you, and if you have a blue balloon, they might think you are only part of the sky, and not notice you, and the question is: Which is most likely?’

‘Can’t they notice you under the balloon?’ he asked.

‘They might or they might not,’ said Winnie-the-Pooh. ‘You never can tell with bees.’ He thought for a moment and said: ‘I shall try to look like a small black cloud. That will deceive them.’

‘Then you’d better take the blue balloon,’ he said; and so it was decided.

Well, they both went out with the blue balloon, and Christopher Robin took his gun with him, just in case, and Winnie-the-Pooh went to a very muddy place, and rolled and rolled until he was black all over; and then, when you blew up the balloon, you let the string go suddenly, and Pooh Bear floated gracefully up into the sky, and stayed there – level with the top of the tree and about twenty feet away from it.

‘Isn’t that fine?’ shouted Winnie-the-Pooh down. ‘What do I look like?’

‘You look like a Bear holding on to a balloon,’ Christopher Robin said.

‘Not,’ said Pooh anxiously,’ – not like a small black cloud in a blue sky?’

‘Not very much.’

‘Ah, well, perhaps from up here it looks different. And, as I say, you never can tell with bees.’

There was no wind to blow him nearer to the tree, so there he stayed. He could see the honey, he could smell the honey, but he couldn’t quite reach the honey.

After a little while he called down to Christopher Robin.

‘Christopher Robin!’ he said in a loud whisper.

‘Hallo!’

‘I think the bees suspect something!’

‘What sort of thing?’

‘I don’t know. But something tells me that they’re suspicious!’

‘Perhaps they think that you’re going to take their honey?’

‘It may be that. You never can tell with bees.’

There was another little silence, and then he called down to you again.

‘Christopher Robin! Have you an umbrella in your house?’

‘I think so.’

‘I wish you would bring it out here, and walk up and down with it, and look up at me every now and then, and say “Tut-tut, it looks like rain.” And these bees will think that I’m really a cloud!’

Well, he laughed to himself, ‘Silly old Bear!’ but you didn’t say it aloud because you were so fond of him, and you went home for your umbrella.

‘Oh, there you are!’ called down Winnie-the-Pooh, as soon as you got back to the tree. ‘I’m so anxious. I have discovered that the bees are now definitely suspicious.’

‘Shall I put my umbrella up?’ you said.

‘Yes, but wait a moment. We must be practical. The important bee to deceive is the Queen Bee. Can you see which is the Queen Bee from down there?’

‘No.’

‘A pity. Well, now, if you walk up and down with your umbrella, saying, “Tut-tut, it looks like rain,” I shall sing A Little Cloud Song, such as a cloud might sing… Go!’

So, while you walked up and down and wondered if it would rain, Winnie-the-Pooh sang a cloud’s song.

But the bees were as suspicious as ever. Some of them left their nests and flew all round the cloud, and one bee sat down on the nose of the cloud for a moment, and then got up again.

‘Christopher – ow! – Robin,’ called out the cloud.

‘Yes?’

‘I have come to a very important decision! These are the wrong sort of bees.’

‘Are they?’

‘Quite the wrong sort. So I think they would make the wrong sort of honey. I think I shall come down.’

‘How?’ asked you.

Winnie-the-Pooh couldn’t think about this. If he let go of the string, he would fall – bump – and he didn’t like the idea of that. So he thought for a long time, and then he said:

‘Christopher Robin, you must shoot the balloon with your gun. Have you got your gun?’

‘Of course I have,’ you said. ‘But if I do that, it will spoil the balloon,’ you said. But if you don’t’ said Pooh, ‘I shall have to let go, and that would spoil me.’

When he put it like this, you aimed very carefully at the balloon, and fired.

‘Ow!’ said Pooh.

‘Did I miss?’ you asked.

‘You didn’t exactly miss,’ said Pooh, ‘but you missed the balloon.’

‘I’m so sorry,’ you said, and you fired again, and this time you hit the balloon and the air came slowly out, and Winnie-the-Pooh floated down to the ground.

But his arms were so stiff from holding on to the string of the balloon that they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and when a fly sat on his nose, he had to blow it off. And I think – but I am not sure – that that is why he was always called Pooh.
