" Pooh," said Rabbit kindly, " You haven't any brain."

" I know," said Pooh humbly.

and of course the poem is by A.A. Milne, drawing is based
on ones by Ernest H. Shepard.

and by-and-by Pooh and Piglet went on again.
The wind was behind them now, so they didn't have to shout.

"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit's clever."

"And he has Brain."

"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has a Brain."

There was a long silence.

"I suppose," said Pooh, " that that's why he never understands anything."
