Bang

Celeste tells the audience that when they see this sign, a loud "Bang" just happened.

He invites everyone to join him in his morning exercises.	Eeyore comes in more melancholy than usual because it´s his birthday and he doesn´t think anyone cares.

Pooh tells him that his friends have prepared a surprise for him, so he should go about his day as usual, but act surprised when his friends come.	Eeyore goes off, saying he can “Sit around and watch the thistles grow—by myself.”

Pooh explains the situation to Piglet, but the two can´t think of what sort of surprise to prepare.	They enlist help from Rabbit.

Rabbit pulls suggestions out of her magic hat—a birthday banner and card for everyone to sign.	Unfortunately, Rabbit thinks Eeyore´s birthday is next week—so Pooh and Piglet must think of their own solution.

Pooh decides to give Eeyore a pot of honey for a present. But when he needs “a little smackerel of something” before going to see Eeyore, he eats the whole pot of honey.	Pooh decides to give the empty pot to Eeyore as a Useful Pot To Put Things In, and wants to write a birthday message on the side. Since he doesn´t know how to write, he calls for Owl to help.

They agree that with Owl´s message of “A Very Happy Birthday With Love From Pooh,” no one else will have as nice a pot.	Pooh visits Eeyore and tells him about the birthday message on the Useful Pot.

Piglet arrives with her present of a balloon—but she tripped and fell on it on the way. This is all that is left.	As Pooh consoles Piglet, Eeyore makes a discovery: “Look, Pooh. My balloon goes into my pot.”

“And it comes out!”	“It´s just right! I'm having a birthday!” Eeyore exclaims.

As Owl and Rabbit escort Eeyore away to have some thistle cake, Pooh and Piglet talk about what to do tomorrow. They decide that whatever they do will be fine as long as they do it together—“It's always more fun with two.”
