In Which A House Is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore.
- Pooh is bored, so he goesover to Piglet's house to see what's up.
- It's snowing, and he's surprised to see that his normally reclusive friend is not at home.
- It's cold too, so naturally, Pooh makes up a song about being cold. It's the "tiddely pom" song, which keeps him busy while he waits. Before smart phones, that's what people did (Tiddely pom).
- He decides to check in on Eeyore, but goes home first to get some warm clothes, making up a new song along the way.
- Lo and behold, Piglet is waiting for him in his very own living room.
- They decide to have a snack, then proceed to Eeyore's where Pooh will debut his newest song.
- The walk over is cold, and Piglet tries to convince Pooh to turn back. But Pooh, like a good soldier—or just a stubborn-as-bees kind of guy—is determined to go on.
- He convinces Piglet to practice the song outside, since it's an outside song, about snow of all things.
- And another tiddely pom song to boot.
- Being cold and grumpy, Piglet doesn't like it so much.
- But as they get closer to Eeyore's, they stop at a gate in the path and sing the song six times over and by the end, even Piglet is feeling all warmed up.
- As they're sitting, Pooh comes to a great realization: even though they're heading to the place where Eeyore lives, poor Eeyore doesn't actually have a house that he lives in.
- He just kind of lives in an area.
- Pooh declares that they should build Eeyore a house.
- Right there at the gate, near the edge of the field.
- Which is heretofore known as Pooh Corner. In spite of good intentions, Pooh is little self-centered, we've learned.
- Like Columbus "discovering" America...
- So they find a heap of sticks conveniently stacked up already, and carry them over to their new building site.
- Meanwhile, the narrator takes us to Christopher Robin (the character), who's just receiving a visit from Eeyore himself.
- The donkey, coincidentally, is in search of a house. Any house. A roof to cover his head during the snow.
- After a stretch of you-should-feel-sorry-for-me-isms, Eeyore reveals that he actually built a house for himself that very morning.
- Only he went out, and when he came back, it was gone!
- Well, CR springs into action and gets ready to brave the elements to go look for Eeyore's missing house.
- Any guesses what happened to it?
- So they go to the edge of the field where Eeyore's stick house once stood.
- That was another clue. Now any guesses?
- When they get to the site of the missing house, CR hears something.
- It's Pooh!
- And Piglet!
- Singing!
- Singing a new tiddely pom song about building a house.
- CR shouts to Pooh, who sees him near the place where they got all those neatly piled sticks.
- Okay, now you know what happened, right?
- CR explains about Eeyore's stick house, and Pooh and Piglet realize just how that connects with their stick house for Eeyore.
- Oops.
- Er.
- Uh.
- Well...
- The new house is warmer, behind some trees and out of the wind, Piglet explains.
- Eeyore, reasserting his own intelligence, assumes that his house was indeed where he said it was, only the wind blew it to this new place.
- In fact, it is a better place than before.
- Then Eeyore takes some pride in his own handiwork, which really wasn't his, which was mistaken for a random pile of sticks by Pooh and Piglet, which was rebuilt into a livable house for a stuffed donkey, who takes pride in his work, which isn't his...well, you get it.
- CR, Pooh and Piglet leave the donkey to his abode, and walk home together for lunch, singing all the way.
