'Wasn't what yesterday?' said Owl.

'His birthday. Isn't that what you are writing about?'

'Well yes, it does seem like only yesterday,

Pooh looked on with a thoughtful expression.

'Well then I think you must make up for your forgetting

So Owl wrote with her long pencil,

HIPY HAPY BTHUTHDTH THUTHDA BTHUTHDY

FOR YISTUDY.

And everyone hoped he would like his

nicely painted bedroom when next he came home.
