"It's a blustery day, Piglet..."

As a matter of fact it was raining all over the Hundred Acre Wood. 

There was a thunderstorm on page 71, and on page 73 there was a bit of a cloudburst. 

It rained, and it rained, and it rained.  

The rain rain rain came down down down in rushing rising rivlets  

Till the river crept out of its bed, and crept right into Piglet's 
For Piglet he was frightened with quite a rightful fright 
And so in desperation a message he did write 
 

Help! 
P-P-Piglet 
Me! 
 

He placed it in a bottle and it floated out of sight 
And the rain rain rain came down down down  

So Piglet started bailing 
He was unaware atop his chair While bailing he was sailing

And the rain rain rain came down down down 
and the flood rose up-up-upper 
Pooh too was caught and so he thought 
I must rescue my supper 
Ten honey pots he rescued enough to see him through 
But as he sopped up his supper 
The river sopped up Pooh 
And the water twirled and tossed him 
In a honey pot 
... rain rain rain came down down down 
when the rain rain rain came down down down ... 

So the Hundred Acre Wood got floodier and floodier, but the water couldn't come up to Christopher Robin's house, 

so that's where everyone was gathering. 

It was a time of great excitement. 

But in the midst of all excitement Eeyore stubbornly stuck to his task of house hunting for Owl.  

Eeyore: There's one. Cozy cottage. Nice location. Bit damp for Owl though.

 
Meanwhile little Roo made an important discovery.  

Roo: Look! I've rescued a bottle! And it's got something in it too!  

Christopher Robin: It's a message! And it says: "Help! P-P-Piglet. ME!" Owl, you fly over to Piglet's house, 

and tell him we'll make a rescue. 
Owl: A rescue ! Yes, yes, of course, of course. 

 
So Owl flew out over the flood and he soon spotted two tiny objects below him. 

One was little Piglet caught in the whirlpool and the other was Pooh trying to get the last bit of honey from the pot. 

 Pooh: Yum, yum. 
Piglet: Oh, Owl, I don't need ... but I'm afraid, I'm scared. 
Owl: Now, now Piglet, chin up and all that sort of thing. 

A rescue is being thought of. Be brave, little Piglet ! 
Piglet: It's awfully hard to be brave when you're such a small animal. 
Owl: Then to divert your small mind from your unfortunate predicament I should tell you an amusing antidote. 

It concerns a distant cousin of mine who became so frightened during a flood that he... 
Piglet: I beg your pardon Owl, but I t-t-think we're coming to a very big waterfall. 
Owl: Please, no interruptions. Ah, there you are, Pooh Bear. Now, to continue my story. 
Christopher Robin: Look! There's Pooh ! Over here Pooh! 
Pooh: Oh, hello Christopher Robin. 
Christopher Robin: Pooh, thank goodness you're safe. Have you seen Piglet? 
Piglet: Excuse me, I'm here. What I mean is, here I am. 
Christopher Robin: Pooh ! You rescued Piglet! 
Pooh: I did ? 
Christopher Robin: Yes. And it was a very brave thing to do. 
Pooh: It was? 
Christopher Robin: You're our hero! 
Pooh: I am? 
Christopher Robin: And as soon as the flood is over I shall give you a hero party!
