Worriment In Piglet's Phenomenon

Improved Essays
Pooh goes to see Christopher Robin and asks him if he has a balloon about him - a balloon, of course, being a thing that would enable a small bear to float up into a tree without fear of gorse bushes. Christopher Robin happens to have two balloons, having been to a party at Piglet's house the day before.

This is, to put it mildly, a rather troubling plot development - has Piglet had a party and not invited Pooh? He has invited Christopher Robin, and allowed him to take a total of two balloons home with him, and he has even invited one of Rabbit's relations who was rather too young to go to a party but went anyway. Surely Pooh was invited too, but if he was, where is his balloon?

So, now that that worriment is out of the way, we can return

Although the others might not have understood what Pooh was implying in Pooh’s statement the message in it was quite clever. The home they were looking home might actually be under their noses although the pit is just a pit it could possibly be turned into a home.
