[edit] Synopsis
The story begins with Pooh taking a walk to a wooden bridge over a river where he likes to do nothing in particular. On this particular day, though, he finds a fir cone and ends up dropping it in the river. Noticing that, due to the flow of the river, the cone went under the bridge, Pooh decides to make a game out of it, calling it Poohsticks.
Sometime later, while Pooh, Roo, and Rabbit are playing Poohsticks, they see Eeyore floating in the river below. After a somewhat successful attempt to get him to shore, he tells them that he fell in due to being bounced from behind.
Pooh follows him and asks what's wrong. Eeyore answers that he's unhappy because it's his birthday, and there's nobody around to celebrate it with him. But Pooh doesn't get far before he has a hunger attack and ends up eating the honey. Upon realizing this, he decides to ask Owl for help. Owl writes a birthday greeting on the pot and then flies off to tell Christopher Robin.
He is upset that his gift for Eeyore is no longer good, but he presents it to the donkey anyway. Eeyore doesn't mind, though, since he likes it this way, and later, Pooh brings the empty pot.
