My name is Cooper Howland, and this is…A Little English. Every episode, I read a short story. After the story, there are three tiny lessons. If you’re really serious about studying using this podcast, please go to my website, www.alittleenglish.com. You can get the Podcast User’s Manual, with lots of ideas for self-study. If you just want to listen, then relax and enjoy. So, let’s read a story. Today we are reading Chapter Six of Winnie-the-Pooh. Since Christopher Robin is a character in this episode, I have invited Tabatha to join me. Are you ready, Tabatha? (Let’s DO this). Today’s story is a long one. It has a lot of dialogue, and lots of voice acting by, well, me. Don’t worry if the conversations are a little confusing. They are supposed to be. Pooh and Eeyore are just as confused by the conversations as you and I are. So, like always, relax and enjoy. Chapter VIIn Which Eeyore Has a Birthday and Gets Two PresentsEeyore, the old grey Donkey, stood by the side of the stream, and looked at himself in the water.“Pathetic,” he said. “That’s what it is. Pathetic.”He turned and walked slowly down the stream for twenty yards, splashed across it, and walked slowly back on the other side. Then he looked at himself in the water again.“As I thought,” he said. “No better from this side. But nobody minds. Nobody cares. Pathetic, that’s what it is.”There was a crackling noise in the bracken behind him, and out came Pooh.“Good morning, Eeyore,” said Pooh.“Good morning, Pooh Bear,” said Eeyore gloomily. “If it is a good morning,” he said. “Which I doubt,” said he.“Why, what’s the matter?”“Nothing, Pooh Bear, nothing. We can’t all, and some of us don’t. That’s all there is to it.”“Can’t all what?” said Pooh, rubbing his nose.“Gaiety. Song-and-dance. Here we go round the mulberry bush.”“Oh!” said Pooh. He thought for a long time, and then asked, “What mulberry bush is that?”“Bon-hommy,” went on Eeyore gloomily. “French word meaning bonhommy,” he explained. “I’m not complaining, but There It Is.”Pooh sat down on a large stone, and tried to think this out. It sounded to him like a riddle, and he was never much good at riddles, being a Bear of Very Little Brain. So he sang “Cottleston Pie” instead:Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,A fly can’t bird, but a bird can fly.Ask me a riddle and I reply:“Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie.”That was the first verse. When he had finished it, Eeyore didn’t actually say that he didn’t like it, so Pooh very kindly sang the second verse to him:Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,A fish can’t whistle and neither can I.Ask me a riddle and I reply:“Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie.”Eeyore still said nothing at all, so Pooh hummed the third verse quietly to himself:Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie,Why does a chicken, I don’t know why.Ask me a riddle and I reply:“Cottleston, Cottleston, Cottleston Pie.”“That’s right,” said Eeyore. “Sing. Umty-tiddly, umty-too. Here we go gathering Nuts and May. Enjoy yourself.”“I am,” said Pooh.“Some can,” said Eeyore.“Why, what’s the matter?”“Is anything the matter?”“You seem so sad, Eeyore.”“Sad? Why should I be sad? It’s my birthday. The happiest day of the year.”“Your birthday?” said Pooh in great surprise.“Of course it is. Can’t you see? Look at all the presents I have had.” He waved a foot from side to side. “Look at the birthday cake. Candles and pink sugar.”Pooh looked⁠—first to the right and then to the left.“Presents?” said Pooh. “Birthday cake?” said Pooh. “Where?”“Can’t you see them?”“No,” said Pooh.“Neither can I,” said Eeyore. “Joke,” he explained. “Ha ha!”Pooh scratched his head, being a little puzzled by all this.“But is it really your birthday?” he asked.“It is.”“Oh! Well, Many happy returns of the day, Eeyore.”“And many happy ...
