In which a house is built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore (6)

They were out of the snow now, but it was very cold, and to keep themselves warm they sang Pooh's song right through six times, Piglet doing the tiddely-poms and Pooh doing the rest of it, and both of them thumping on the top of the gate with pieces of stick at the proper places.

And in a little while they felt much warmer, and were able to talk again.

" I've been thinking, " said Pooh, " and what I've been thinking is this. I've been thinking about Eeyore. "

" What about Eeyore ? "

" Well, poor Eeyore has nowhere to live. "

" No, he has, " said Piglet.

" You have a house, Piglet, and I have a house, and they are very good houses. And Cristopher Robin has a house, and Owl and Kanga and Rabbit have houses, and even Rabbit's friends and relations have houses or somethings, but poor Eeyore has nothing. So what I've been thinking is : Let's build him a house. "

" That, " said Piglet, " is a Grand Idea. Where shall we build it ? "
