Today is Tuesday.

The second part of the introduction:

When Piglet looked up and said to the author in his squeaky voice, "What about Me?""My dear Piglet," the author said, "the whole book is about you. " "So it is about Pooh," he squeaked. He is jealous because he thinks Pooh is having a Grand Introduction all to himself. Pooh is the favourite, but Piglet comes in for a good many things which Pooh misses because you can't take Pooh to school without everybody knowing it, but Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two. Sometimes he slips out and has a good look in the ink-pot, and in this way he has got more education than Pooh, but Pooh doesn't mind. Some have brains, and some haven't, he says, and there it is. And now all the others are saying, "What about Us?" So perhaps the best thing to do is to stop writing Introductions and get on with the book.
