skipping stones.

The thing about skipping stones is... you have to do it right. You can try really hard, put in evey ounce of strength, throw your hardest but be prepared to watch your stone plop into the water and sink to the bottom- if you don't do it right. Some can execute effortlessly, others struggle forever. Tuptup belongs to the latter.

For sure, there's nothing wrong with the stone; not to mention the water. Maybe it's not even the paw that throws the stone. It's the bear. The tuptup just dun geddit. And so, the poohies dun like him. He's deservedly alone.
