Balancing on three legs, he began to bring his fourth leg very cautiously up to his ear. ‘I did this yesterday,’ he explained, as he fell down for the third time. ‘It’s quite easy. It’s so as I can hear better. … There, that’s done it! Now then, what were you saying?’ He pushed his ear forward with his hoof.

‘Many happy returns of the day,’ said Piglet again.

‘Meaning me?’

‘Of course, Eeyore.’

“Yes, Eeyore, and I’ve brought you a present.’

Eeyore took down his right hoof from his right ear, turned round, and with great difficulty put up his left hoof.

‘I must have that in the other ear,’ he said. ‘Now then.’

‘A present,’ said Piglet very loudly.

‘Meaning me again?’

‘Yes.’

‘My birthday still?’

‘Of course, Eeyore.’

‘Me going on having a real birthday?’

‘Yes, Eeyore, and I brought you a balloon.’

‘Balloon?’ said Eeyore. ‘You did say balloon? One of those big coloured things you blow up? Gaiety, song-and-dance, here we are and there we are?’

‘Yes, but I’m afraid – I’m very sorry, Eeyore – but when I was running along to bring it you, I fell down.’

‘Dear, dear, how unlucky! You ran too fast, I expect. You didn’t hurt yourself, Little Piglet?’

‘No, but I – I – oh, Eeyore, I burst the balloon!’

There was a very long silence.

‘My balloon?’ said Eeyore at last.

Piglet nodded.

‘My birthday balloon?’
