DISCOVERED BY POOH
POOH FOUND IT.


Then they all went home again. And I think, but I am not quite sure,
that Roo had a hot bath and went straight to bed. But Pooh went back to

CHAPTER IX
IN WHICH PIGLET IS ENTIRELY SURROUNDED BY WATER
It rained and it rained and it rained. Piglet told himself that never

Climbing Trees, and Kanga could escape by Jumping, and Rabbit could
escape by Burrowing, and Owl could escape by Flying, and Eeyore could
escape by—by Making a Loud Noise Until Rescued, and here am I,
