If those are these or these are those. On Wednesday, when the sky is blue, And I have nothing else to do, I sometimes wonder if it's true That who is what and what is who. On Thursday, when it starts to freeze And hoar-frost twinkles on the trees, How very readily one sees That these are whose-but whose are these?

On Friday-

'Yes, it is, isn't it?' said Kanga, not waiting to hear what happened on Friday.

'Just one more jump, Roo, dear, and then we really must be going.'

Rabbit gave Pooh a hurrying-up sort of nudge.

'Talking of Poetry,' said Pooh quickly 'have you ever noticed that tree right

over there?'

'Where?' said Kanga. 'Now, Roo-' 'Right over there,' said Pooh, pointing behind

Kanga's back.

'No,' said Kanga. 'Now jump in, Roo, dear, and we'll go home.'

'You ought to look at that tree right over there,' said Rabbit. 'Shall I lift you in, Roo?' And he picked up Roo in his paws.

'I can see a bird in it from here,' said Pooh. 'Or is it a fish?'

'You ought to see that bird from here,' said Rabbit. 'Unless it's a fish.'

'It isn't a fish, it's a bird,' said Piglet.

'So it is,' said Rabbit.

'Is it a starling or a blackbird?' said Pooh.

'That's the whole question,' said Rabbit. 'Is it a blackbird or a starling?'

And then at last Kanga did turn her head to look. And the moment that her head was turned, Rabbit said in a loud voice 'In you go, Roo!' and in jumped Piglet into Kanga's pocket, and off scampered Rabbit, with Roo in his paws, as fast as

he could.

'Why, where's Rabbit?' said Kanga, turning round again. 'Are you all right, Roo,

dear?'

Piglet made a squeaky Roo-noise from the bottom of Kanga's pocket.

'Rabbit had to go away,' said Pooh. 'I think he thought of something he had to

do and see about suddenly.'
