Winnie The Pooh

I love Winnie The Pooh stories. This specific book has 3 stories of it. The copy I have is from 1965 that I picked up at a yard sale about 1988.. My favorite one out of the 3 is "Pooh Invents A New Game and Eeyore Joins In." A.A. Milne has a wonderful way of writing the Pooh stories with the different characters and interactions of them. In this story Pooh, Piglet and Roo are playing a game of Poohsticks where they drop sticks off of one side of the bridge and then run to the other side to see whose is first. All of the sudden Eeyore comes floating by on his back, swirling around in an eddy or two. Pooh drops a stone into the water to try hooshing him out but instead it almost lands on Eeyore and he ducks under and swims to the side. So then they ask how did he get in the river and he says he was bounced, by Tigger he suspects. When Tigger comes to where they are, he is asked if he bounced him and he says no he coughed and it happened while he was behind Eeyore. It is quite a funny story and when I was reading it to daughters we were cracking up.
