Plot
In this short Winnie The Pooh is told by Gopher that it is Winds-Day and is off to wish everybody a Happy Winds-Day so when he stops to wish Piglet Piglet is blown in the air and Pooh uses him as a kite and during it he wishes Kanga, Roo, Eeyore, Rabbit, and Owl a Happy Winds-day. When he wishes Rabbit a happy winds-day he puts carrots in a wheel-barrow and a sign comes from nowhere saying Kerits. Then when he sees Owl he tells him that it is just a gentle spring zephyr not winds-day but after that Owls house is knocked down and Eeyore is sent to house hunt for Owl. Then, Owl tells everyone with him more of his relations' past (Sebastien Cabot commenting that Owl talked from page 41 to page 62). Later a strange noise that was never heard before in the 100-acre wood was made but when someone knocks on the door and pooh opens Tigger comes bouncing on him says "Hello, I'm Tigger." after that Tigger takes some honey and says "YUCK tiggers don't like honey". Then pooh finds out that there are Heffalumps and Woozles that steal honey. After Tigger leaves pooh has a nightmare and tigger saying "Heffalumps and Woozles, Heffalumps and Woozles steal honey, beware, beware" at the introduction. Then after the dream is over the hundred acre wood is flooded and everyone is gathering to Christopher Robins house while Pooh and Piglet are in the flood and during the period piglet writes "Help P-P-Piglet Me" pooh is rescuing is pots of honey and piglet is on the chair Christopher Robin sends Owl to rescue piglet but spots pooh then they approach a waterfall then piglet falls in to the honey pot and pooh swipes into the chair. Then they arrive at Christopher Robins house where he mistakenly thinks that Pooh rescued Piglet and throws a hero party.
