A sweet time with Pooh

“Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Patch”

A.A. Milne

At the beginning of the book, Pooh and Owl were walking and enjoying the spring weather. While Owl was explaining that spring is the time of year when everything started growing, Pooh started thinking about growing honey. In the middle of the story, Pooh planted a honey pot and waited for it to grow for a whole year’s supply, but it never did. All his friends were trying to find out what was wrong with his honey pot. They replaced it with a bucket. At the end of the book, Pooh found the bucket and used it to collect honey. Then he met his friends, who told him about the bucket story and they shared the honey for breakfast.
