In the Hundred Acre Wood, it rained for days on end, causing a great flood. Piglet found himself completely surrounded by water, trapped in his home with no way to escape. Feeling frightened and alone, he decided to write a message for help. He placed the note in a bottle and tossed it into the floodwaters, hoping it would reach someone who could rescue him.

Meanwhile, Winnie-the-Pooh was also affected by the rising water. He had climbed into a tree with his honey pots to stay safe. One day, he spotted Piglet’s bottle floating by. Retrieving it, he discovered Piglet’s plea for help but realized he couldn’t swim to him. Thinking creatively, Pooh decided to use an empty honey pot as a boat, which he named “The Floating Bear.” Unfortunately, it wasn’t very reliable.

Pooh then made his way to Christopher Robin’s house, which was situated on higher ground and had become an island amidst the flood. Upon hearing about Piglet’s predicament, Christopher Robin devised a plan. Using his umbrella as a makeshift boat—aptly named “The Brain of Pooh”—they set out together to rescue their friend.

As they navigated the floodwaters, Owl flew ahead to keep Piglet company and inform him that help was on the way. However, Owl’s long-winded stories nearly put Piglet to sleep, causing him to almost fall into the water. Just in time, Pooh and Christopher Robin arrived and safely brought Piglet aboard the umbrella boat.

The trio returned to Christopher Robin’s house, relieved and happy to be together. The flood eventually subsided, and the friends reflected on their adventure. Piglet was especially grateful for his friends’ ingenuity and bravery. Life in the Hundred Acre Wood returned to normal, but the bonds of friendship had grown even stronger through their shared experience.
