(Just tell me, somebody-WHAT DID HE DO?)

While this was going on inside him, Owl was talking to Eeyore.

'Eeyore,' said Owl, 'Christopher Robin is giving a party.'

'Very interesting,' said Eeyore. 'I suppose they will be sending me down the odd bits which got trodden on. Kind and Thoughtful. Not at all, don't mention it.'

'There is an Invitation for you.'

'What's that like?'

'An Invitation!'

'Yes, I heard you. Who dropped it?'

'This isn't anything to eat, it's asking you to the party. To-morrow.'

Eeyore shook his head slowly.

'You mean Piglet. The little fellow with the exited ears. That's Piglet. I'll

tell him.'

'No, no!' said Owl, getting quite fussy. 'It's you!'

'Are you sure?'

'Of course I'm sure. Christopher Robin said 'All of them! Tell all of them.''

'All of them, except Eeyore?'

'All of them,' said Owl sulkily.

'Ah!' said Eeyore. 'A mistake, no doubt, but still, I shall come. Only don't

blame me if it rains.'
