There lived a bear named Winnie the Pooh. He lived with his friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood. One day, it was very windy and Winnie decided to visit his thinking spot. Whenever he wanted to think of something, he used to go to his thinking spot. The fluffy bear took all of his things and happily went to his thinking spot. He happily exclaimed that the day was very windy.Winnie quickly went to his thinking spot. After reaching there, he sat down quickly and tried to think of something. He quietly tried to think of something. He whispered to himself, “Think, Pooh, Think.” He tried very hard but could not think of anything. While he was busy thinking, Gopher, the beaver came out of the ground. The beaver said, “Why are you sitting here on a windy day? If I were you, I would have quickly gone back to my home. It’s Windsday, you know?After listening to beaver, pooh excitedly asked, “Windsday?” The pooh surprisingly looked at the beaver and an idea came to his mind. He decided to wish everyone a “Happy Windsday”. The fluffy bear quickly left his thinking spot and went to the piglet’s house.When he reached the piglet’s house, he was sweeping away the fallen leaves on a windy day. Piglet almost swept off the leaves and suddenly a huge gust of wind brought back all the leaves again. “Happy Windsday, Piglet”, pooh said with full of excitement. Another strong gust of wind blew and this time it took piglet along with the leaves. The poor piglet cried and said, “This is not a happy day for me.”&nbsp;Pooh saw piglet floating away with the wind and asked, “Where are you going piglet?”. The piglet said, “I do not know. Please Help Me, Pooh!” The pooh quickly grabbed onto a piglet scarf before he could fly out of reach. The wind was blowing so heavily that pooh also flew along with the piglet. Whenever piglet floated, pooh ran after him. Pooh and piglet went right through the rabbit’s carrot patch. They carried carrots along with them everywhere due to the wind and that made the rabbit very angry.The wind started blowing even stronger and with that, pooh and piglet were thrown at the Owl’s window. Looking at both of them, owl happily said, “What a pleasant surprise.” The Owl opened the window and invited them inside. As soon as the Owl opened the window, a strong gust of wind entered and his entire house was brought down.Everyone from the Hundred-Acre Wood came to help them but no one knew what to do. In the end Eeyore, the donkey said it’s time to look for a new house. Sadly, everyone agreed and the donkey gave the job of finding the new house to the Owl.When the night came, it was still windy. Poor pooh tried to sleep but he could not sleep. Pooh heard some strange voices and that made him uncomfortable. He decided to investigate and see who was there. He got up, opened the door and with trembling hands due to the wind, he asked, “Who’s out there?” Pooh prayed for no reply.At that very moment, pooh saw a strange-looking animal. The animal was orange in colour with black stripes all over its body. The animal said, “My name is Tiger.” Pooh said, “Oh, you scared me.” Tiger said, “Everyone is scared of Tigers.” And he laughed. Pooh curiously asked, “What is a Tiger?” tiger jumped around showing all he could and said, “I am hungry”. The pooh sadly said, “I hope not for honey.” Fortunately, the tiger hated honey. So, he left.The windy night turned into a rainy night. It rained heavily that night. The next morning, Hundred-Acre Wood was flooded with water all around. Pooh was scared that due to the water all his honey pots would go to waste. So, he decided to eat them all. But as he was licking the last pot, the water was flowing so heavily that it took pooh and his honey pot along with it.Everyone was struggling because of the flood. Piglet was also suffering in the water. The water entered his house through the window. He had no one to help him. So, poor piglet wrote a note asking for help and put it in a bottle. Then, he threw the bottle in the water. He thought someone would surely come to help him.All the people from the Hundred-Acre Wood gathered around Christopher Robin. Christopher Robin lived on a high hill and water could not reach there. He found the piglet’s note and sent Owl to find the piglet. Owl went to find a piglet. While flying he saw two objects. The two objects were Pooh the bear and the piglet. Owl shouted, “Pooh, Piglet! Christopher Robin is planning a rescue for you two.” Pooh was still stuck in his honey pot and the piglet stood firmly clinging onto a chair. They finally floated to Christopher Robin’s hill. After seeing Pooh and Piglet, Christopher said, “Pooh, you rescued Piglet! You are a hero. I must throw a Hero party for you, pooh!”Christopher threw a grand party for everyone and everyone started coming to the party. When Eeyore arrived, he announced, “I have found a new house for Owl.” Eeyore wished to show everyone Owl’s new house. Everyone followed Eeyore and to their surprise, Eeyore stopped in front of Piglet’s house. Before Pooh could say anything, Piglet gave up his house to Owl. Pooh happily said, “Piglet, you shall stay with me then.”Christopher Robin was very happy seeing the kind gesture of the Piglet. He said, “Piglet, that was a very kind gesture. So, the hero party was thrown not for one but two heroes. Pooh rescued little piglet and piglet saved Owl by giving him his home.”
