Pooh fills honey pots to give to everyone, Christopher Robin is making hats, Owl is picking out a book to read, Roo is learning a song, Rabbit is making Friendship Stew, Tigger is getting ready for the Friendship Day bouncing contest, and Eeyore isn't sure what he is going to do yet. One the way to the celebration Christopher Robin bumps into Eeyore and asks if he is going. Eeyore figured out a good gift, a ribbon for everyone. They all got together and exchanged gifts and were all happy together as friends.
