āAfter all,ā said Rabbit to himself, āChristopher Robin depends on Me. Heās fond of Pooh and Piglet and Eeyore, and so am I, but they havenāt any Brain. Not to notice. And he respects Owl, because you canāt help respecting anybody who can spell Tuesday , even if he doesnāt spell it right; but spelling isnāt everything. There are days when spelling Tuesday simply doesnāt count. And Kanga is too busy looking after Roo, and Roo is too young and Tigger is too bouncy to be any help, so thereās really nobody but Me, when you come to look at it. Iāll go and see if thereās anything he wants doing, and then Iāll do it for him. Itās just the day for doing things.ā
