Blackberry Surprise

“Wake up, Pooh,” cried Piglet. “Owl just told me there’s a big surprise waiting for us by his treehouse!”

Winnie the Pooh jumped out of bed and threw on his clothes.

“Pooh,” Piglet giggled as they hurried to Owl’s house, “you’re still wearing your nightcap.”

“Oh, brother!” said Pooh. “We were in such a hurry, I forgot to take it off. I’ll just have to keep it with me.”

Soon they found Owl’s surprise.

“Blackberries!” Pooh cried.

“Sweet blackberries! They’re so delicious!” Piglet said.

“We must bring some back for everyone,” Pooh suggested.

“But we don’t have a berry pail,” Piglet pointed out. “How can we take home enough blackberries for everyone?”

Pooh though for a moment. Then he had the perfect idea. 

“Let’s use my cap,” he suggested. 

“It will hold as much as a berry pail.”

When they got back to Pooh’s house, Pooh and Piglet invited all their friends over for blackberry pie.

“Hooray for Pooh’s nightcap!” they all chorused. “And hooray for Owl’s blackberry surprise!”
